- The traditional music of Galicia and Asturias, located along Spain's north-west Atlantic coast, are highly distinctive folk styles that have some similarities with the neighbouring area of Cantabria. The music is characterized by the use of bagpipes.
It had long been thought that Galician and Asturian music might owe their roots to the ancient Celtic history of the region, in which it was presumed that some of this ancient influence had survived despite the long evolution of the local musical traditions since then, including centuries of Roman and Germanic influences. Whether or not this is the case, much modern commercial Galician and Asturian traditional and folk-rock of recent years has become strongly influenced by modern Irish, Scottish and Welsh "folk" styles. Galicia is nowadays a strong player on the international Celtic folk scene. As a result, elements of the pre-industrial Galician tradition have become integrated into the modern Celtic folk repertoire and style. Many, however, claim that the "Celtic" appellation is merely a marketing tag; the well known Galician bagpipe player Susana Seivane, said "I think [the 'Celtic' moniker is] a label, in order to sell more. What we make is Galician music". In any case, due to the Celtic brand, Galician music is the only non-Castilian-speaking music of Spain that has a significant audience beyond the country's borders. Some Galicians and Asturians have complained that the "Celtic boom" was the final death blow to once highly distinctive musical traditions.
Celtic culture is known to have extended over a large part of the Iberian Peninsula as early as 600BC. During the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, the Roman Empire slowly conquered Iberia, which they called Hispania. The Celtic regions put up a long and fierce struggle to maintain their independence but were eventually subdued. In the centuries that followed, the language of the Romans, Latin, came to gradually supplant nearly all the earlier languages of the peninsula, including all Celtic languages, and is the ancestor of all the current languages of Spain and Portugal, including Galician and Astur-Leonese-Mirandese but not Basque. The departure of the Romans in the 5th century led to the invasions of Germanic tribes. The Suebi people conquered the northwest but the poor documentation from the period has left their cultural impact on the region unclear. In the 6th century, a final small Celtic influx arrived from Britain; the Britons were granted their own diocese, Britonia, in northern Galicia. Galicia was then taken over by the Visigothic Kingdom when the Suebian kingdom fell apart. Galicia came under the control of the Moors after they defeated the Visigoths in 717 but Moorish rule was little more than a short lived military occupation, although an indirect Moorish musical influence arrived later, through Christian troubadours. Moorish rule ended after two decades when the their garrison was driven out by a rebellion in 739. The region was incorporated into the Kingdom of Asturias and, after surviving the assaults of the Moors and Vikings, became the springboard for the Reconquista.
In 810, it was claimed that the remains of Saint James, one of the apostles, had been found at a site which soon became known as Santiago de Compostela. It became Europe's premier pilgrimage destination in the Middle Ages. This is assumed to have had a significant effect on the folk culture of the area, as the pilgrims brought with them musical instruments and styles from as far afield as Scandinavia and Hungary.
Like the earlier periods, little is known about musical traditions from this era. Just a few manuscripts from the time are known, such as those by the 13th-century poet and musician Martín Codax, which indicate that some of the distinctive elements of today's music, such as the bagpipes and flutes, were common at the time. The Cantigas de Santa Maria, a collection of manuscripts written in old Galician, also show illustrations of people playing bagpipes.
The Celtic influence is so apparent. My Father was from Asturias , born in 1932 in Tineo El Pedregal- That’s all I know. Left Spain as an Adolescent a few years after his Father died to Cuba.
You know you can claim your Spanish citizenship under the new Law of Democratic Memory? Find his original birth certificate and go to your local Spanish consulate they will tell you how it only takes a couple of months
Siento no compartir algunos comentarios , porque cuando otras culturas se atreven a bailar nuestro folclore, quiere decir que aman nuestra tierra y no es justo privarlos de esa pasion que sienten. Pueden ser también hijos de asturianos emigrantes en América. Mi tio se ha casado con una chica venezolana y ha tenido dos chicos preciosos y tienen tanto derecho como nosotros a disfrutar de ASTURIAS, y es un placer verlos bailar. Gracias por el video. Un saludo cordial para todos.
Muy bonito comentario, pues mis bis abuelos, tios abuelos y abuelo son oriundos de la montaña palentina en Acebedo y pues que de ellos heredé el amor por el norte hispano, la bota, la gaita y mi boina. Dios bendiga a mi amada España eterna! ✝️😇🙏🏻💪🏻😎🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇯🇪🇯🇪🇯🇪🇨🇱 Un abrazo para vos Luisa! :)
Estoy de acuerdo,y es que muchos recién llegados de las Américas ,en tiempo récord los ves hablando gallego, astur-leonés, catalán o euskera, pero con una soltura y una pasión tremendas ,la mayoría venezolanos, país que cuenta con millones de inmigrantes españoles. Aunque, dato curioso: también muchos chinos residentes en nuestra patria sienten igual pasión x lo nuestro, y en menos de dos años los ves 'falando' un 'galego' perfecto y hasta incluso ,algunos ingresando en la Guardia Civil. Y si les preguntas de dónde se sienten,no dudan ni un segundo en responder alto y claro "que españoles". Para mí personalmente estas gentes son un orgullo.
@@anamariacarballo3514 Euskera no aprenden casi ningún/a migrante american@ (a no ser que vayan a un pueblo muy vsscoparlante y a veces ni así), l@s american@s que aprenden euskera (sea la zona que sea) la mayoría son indígenas. Me da pena que l@s demás no quieran aprender, pero es así.
L@s african@s sí que aprenden más euskera, ves a arrantzaleak (pescadores) que vienen de Senegal a Lekeitio (o Lekitto) p.ej y no sólo que aprendan euskera, sino que aprenden la subvariante del pueblo y parece que hayan nacido allí.
En el caso vasconavarro, l@s migrantes que más aprenden euskera y l@s que llevan a hij@s a aprender en la lengua, son african@s, más negr@s , pero marroquíes o saharauis también. American@s poc@s (algún/a descendiente sí, pero en su país) y chin@s aún no he visto a ningún@ que no sea adoptad@ aprender euskera (japoneses/as al contrario, les gusta mucho el euskera y aprenden incluso viviendo en Japón).
Sólo quiero decir, que much@s no aprenden euskera, pero no lo digo porque sean migrantes porque algun@s de aquí tampoco aprenden euskera. 😢
Hombre cuanta razón tienes! yo sé de un pueblo en que personas de Europa del Este con su traje típico bailaron la jota del pueblo y les dejaron bastantes verdes por el traje y sin embargo a un chico canario de origen del pueblo con su traje típico ni mu dijeron en fin es lo que hay la ropa es lo de menos
Que pena que se casó con venezolana ! Lol hahahah
!Qué bonito! Soy sevillana y siempre recuerdo de ver en televisión, de niña, los bailes regionales de España. Me encanta ver la diversidad de bailes.
¡Excelente! ¡Que viva Asturias y que viva España!
My great grandmother and great grandfather are from this region of Spain. Love this traditional music.
I want to know about my past ancestors. Us Mexicans we don't really know much about our past. 😥I'm Mexican and I don't hate the Spanish like most Mexicans do, sure the accent is funny but I don't hate them. What the conquistadors did to Latin America is atrocious, horrific, but I can't hate the people of the place they came from, they alike us mestizos are innocent. Once I can I'll try to find about my past both indigenous and Spanish or other. But I came across a article and it said that my 1st surname, my father's surname(Ramírez) came from this region although I'm not sure or dont think I should trust it, but its interesting.
Gracias.Tambien a nosotros nos encanta vuestra música patria (vuestro folklore), e incluso el que conserveis vuestra cultura y lenguas ancestrales.
Canciones como "La Llorona" en zapoteco o en náhuatl (francés o español), son un verdadero placer para los sentidos.
@@maria-melek most mexicans are descendants of people from Extremadura Andalusia and Euskadi, some have ancestors from other places like Leon, Galícia or Catalunya
@Maria-Melek Hubo muchos inmigrantes asturianos en México. Tal vez hay una pequeña posibilidad de que un ancestro tuyo sea de Asturias, quién sabe.
@@maria-melek you can't blame people from now. Also most mexicans wish being white. i doubt you guys care about your native american roots, mostly the hate towards spanish comes from envy, jealousy and projection from latinos especially mexicans. Since you guys have a long history of racism in The United States or Canada
That musical piece that they dance is a "Jota", typical of the folklore of Asturias. Greetings from Navia, Asturias.
Pelagius would be proud to know that the kingdom he founded was a starting point for the reconquesta and has given the world so much, including fantastic asturian food!!!!!
Would he? He wanted to unify the visigothic kingdom back, nowadays the peninsula is broken between spain and portugal, lots of "indepndentists" moves in spain, the north of africa its no longer under their control, gibraltar is on british hands, and septimania is now part of france
ManOhMan
I never thought of it that way but you are correct
@@kyomademon453 In our hearts all of North Spain is unified. We know we are all family
It's curious to see that people from other parts of the world know about asturias, patria querida.
Puxa asturies!
@@kyomademon453 but he could die in peace, because after his punch all was prepared for that Hispania, later Spania and later España fighted to be Cristian again, step by step until 1492...and more ahead all a "new" continent too!
Greetings from the son of an Asturian from Las Caldas de Oviedo.....( Les Caldes d' Uvieu, Asturies ) I lived there in 1962 and 1963.....Can't wait to go back.......Sierra Cuban, Miami, Florida
Le petit garçon danse vraiment bien
Que baile tan lindo! My family is from Asturias, the plateau of Infiestos, I believe. AND two of my last names are Diaz and Fernandez. I was told by an Asturian genealogist that our family line is very ancient. I am VERY proud to be of Asturian descent.
I also descend from a Fernandez family from Asturias 💯
The boy is just excellent ! So precise and self -confident. Fantastic !
That little boy though! He has such presence and talent.
Espana 17 comunidades con folklore muy variado, desde el flamenco a la muneira, desde la jota aragonesa a la polka canaria y un monton de provincias, Espana es unica en su variedad folklorica!

Incluso fusion. Porque en Granada después de la reconquista se repoblo con gentes del Norte. Aqui no hay lunares ni volantes. Busca los trajes típicos de Granada. Parecen van a bailar la jota. Es un clima frío humedo y de montaña...como en la Alpujarra
Beautyful Aviles, my fater is from there, living now since 1964 in Belgium buy hi always tell his hart belong there!
saludos dae Sardignia , nois puru tenimus a su folklore ....(saluti dalla Sardegna, anche noi teniamo tanto al folklore)
Great video, I love the culture. The description on this video is an understatement. The Celtic presence in this area is not subjective, it is a fact, we know this through archaeology, the texts from the Romans, and even today there are well over 1,000 Celtic words in Galician and Portuguese.
Also heavy Visigoth presence
They don't look like they have much Celtic or have any visigoth influence. If they had heavy visigoth influence they would look like this:

They clearly don't.

I am Asturian, we are not Celtic people, there are just some rests. Our traditional dances are not Celtic and you'll see they are similar with other regions of Spain
@@fueyo2229 the dance is similar to the rest of Spain, so flamenco is the same as this? No, of course it’s all Spanish but what makes Spanish dances Spanish? It’s the contribution of the generations of people before it. Some regions have variances, some as extreme variances as Asturian dances compared to flamenco. The variance here is heavier Celtic influence. This influence comes from Central Europe, is very hard to deny that
Avilés, the third biggest city in Asturias. Thanks for showing it!
This dance looks very similar to that of the Portuguese traditional dances, I am part Portuguese and this feels so familiar. Que baile hermosa!
@Schwatzgelber Castilla y León has the same culture, same traditional dresses, same dances and even same 'look' to them. There are four big different kinds of culture in the Iberian peninsula. One in the East, one in the South, one in the East center and one in the North.
Asturias is diferent ❤💯
Que lindo ! gracias por compartir
that music is very strong sounding.....it will keep you awake when you dont want to be
Real dance, real feeling
Muito bonito. Parabéns. 🌻
hello from France
North Iberia has a feel and certainty, I say when one falls in this trans mountain region they are assured of landing on solid rock. No frets no worries no mandates and let's get the party started! Thanks and praise to the defenders and promoters of Iberia.
Little kid nailed it even if it wasn’t perfect I wonder he is now
Puxa Asturies!
Beautiful
Awesome!
que bonito!!!
reminds me of my mother's voice and her knees for us when we were babies in America and I couldn't figure it out until know!
A mi m gusta la gaita viva el gaitero,a mi me gusta la gaita q tenga el fuelle de tercio pelo.
Q tengo un pie maluuu nunn pueduuu,bailar q dame les Cintes del tu delantal.
Del mio delantal yo te las daré, siempre q tu seas firme en el querer.
Firme en el querer,firme en el amar,q dame les cintes del tu delantal.
Ole que arte viva españa
Ole el zagal! Ole the kid!
Celebrating life
Muito incrivel.
May God protect Iberia 🇵🇹 🇪🇸 💪🏼
Like it =)

Avilés, not Áviles.
Guajin que te la comisteeeee!!!
Very reflective to northern portuguese traditional music and dance!
Same province. From Northern Portugal to Cantabria, it 's all the same people, and the same culture.
ESTO ES LO MEJOR K HAI
Pelayo: no hay quien baile como Tú , Con ésa elegancia, y estilo personal, Urra y un ABRAZO de tú GAITERO
Emocionante , múy bién bailado pór tódos, él niño ý sú pareja excelentes.
that one kid was lost at times, but who could blame him with that lad in front rocking it.
❤️💃🌹

hola
Excellent "Show More" notes with this post. Nothing is as simple as people like to believe. For example, I imagine I see similarities with the Sevillanas of the deep South of Spain, in the heart of Flamenco country, but I also know the Gypsy Flamencos do not generally perform Sevillanas, nor are they big on castanets, it is more a tradition of the non-Gypsy Spanish there. Castanets were mentioned by the Romans when they praised the dancing girls of Cadiz, which is now a stronghold of Flamenco. It is all very complicated and thus interesting!
Sevillanas, which is not Flamenco, as I said.
I never said Asturians were gypsies, quite the opposite. Would you like me to Google Translate my English for you, O Moon of the Holy Blood?
Thanks. I really would like to know if you can see a similarity between this and the Sevillanas. I learned Sevillanas 20 years ago, and it had couples, dancing in a row, crossing over, circling each other, all to a quite similar rhythm and length of repeat of the dance patterns.
flamencoprof it has very little in common with sevillanas... no more than a chinese dance with an irish dance
Are any of my comparisons above not applicable?
Tambores q toquen ,de la vieja escuela, como Eduardo Fernández, ya no quedan , cambiaron el toque q le vale para las bandas de gaitas, y lo aplican para el baile y no va bien, tocan bien para bandas q es lo q les enseñaron, pero el baile es distinto, el tambor tiene q cambiar el toque, cuando cambia la mudanza, y los tambores de banda no cambia,
Sorry but that way of dancing is not the real traditional asturian way. Greetings from Asturies.
I do not think that is highly distinctive folk. Is very similar to the tradicional music and dances of most regions of Spain (Jota), Bagpipe similar instruments are used as the dulzaina.
I think this is only traditional in asturias...

@@ppluis4643 Aragon has bagpipes. Suebian people's brought them. Jota is universal for North Spain (Extremadura does count as Northern culture even if they are in the south). East Iberian culture is different though, as it is the Southern.
@@ppluis4643 You are taking a song as base to say jota comes from Valencia. It isn't known where it comes from xD
@@escaramujo la jota se baila en toda España es el baile por excelencia yo soy del sur de Catalunya y también se baile una tía abuela mía la bailaba y su hermana mi abuela versaba es típico con un solo detalle de una persona o tema cantar de manera espontánea, aquí cerca está Vinároz y otros pueblos de laprovincia de Castellón(Valencia)y pueblos de Teruel y Zaragoza (Aragón) la jota es la danza de todos diferentes Sí 💃😉
Why are these people not in charge of Ruling Spain? It is a mystery to me.
CynthiaSantovena CynthiaSantovena , estudia un poco la historia de España y déjate de chorradas, anda.
CynthiaSantovena CynthiaSantovena 😂😂😂😂 Come on! You're kidding, aren't you? If you believe this, then you need to go back to school. 😛
Here is my response too you both(Armando/Cynthia) . Having translated your rubbish by my friend; I can honestly state that the both are colossal idiots. You two must foreign mutts. And since you two only a bit of Iberic history, that in no manner qualifies as an expert. Kindly give the ghost and prepare to go that undiscovered country from no human returns.
Spain is the result of mixing many different peoples and cultures in the same bucket. Some feel better trying to find what makes them different, but the reality is that Iberia is one thing, and one that is different from other things, yet has many similarities with neighboring regions.

Shut up
Preciosa mi Asturias del alma!.
I wish they used a true Asturias boy. You know those ones that have long faces, pale and look like Pinnochio
There is an inextricably complicated Celtic base to all western European culture and music, even lanuages. Which leads back to Africa.
Celtic culture originated in north Africa (among the Berbers and Tuaregs), whence they swept into the Iberian Peninsula some 10,000 years ago. They then frequently travelled back and forth between western Europe and north Africa.
One cannot pin down origins beyond that. North African, Celtic, Greek and Roman culture are all tied together, because they share a cradle in north Africa, is the best we can do.
I say enjoy, listen watch, learn! :)
The celts came from the russian steppe.
@@alvarezabonce from Austria…
Wtf, no... Celtics originated in the Alps, modern-day Swiztlerand and Austria, they were previously Indo-European, from the Ukranian and Russian steppe...
@@angyliv8040 I meant their ancestors. Celtic culture, from around the Black Forest. R1B > U106, from Austria.

What a shame they have when dancing like Asturians, jaja!
CynthiaSantovena CynthiaSantovena they are integrating and embracing the culture of the land where they live. I, m galician and if somebody came to my land and make that great effort to learn and integrate in my culture , I 'd be proud of them .
Emil Zardonicus your racism shocks me. You should be proud of other people from around the world embracing your culture.
Not all, in fact, ancient Astures were tanned with brown or black hair.
Who’s can people be so racist in this era?
Los inmigrantes están matando la tradición y el folclore Asturiano.
vaya mierda......si tu no cuidas las tradiciónes....no puedes esperar que un arabe va a venir y preocuparse de esta cultura....es cultura de la edad media....que ya en muchas partes de europa ha desaparecido....y tambien en Asturias ya se hacen y escuchen musica rock, pop , techno y lo que sea....son tradiciónes que no se mantienen por su mismo.... toda la cultura siempre esta gambiando y la gente siempre se han interesado por nuevos ritmos, nuevos instrumentos y mas.....en otras epochas la gente del pais se ha ido a las americas...el pais se ha caído en depressión despues de la perdida de sus colonías y muchas mas cosas son las causas de que estas tradiciónes no han gambiado tan rapido...no es mala guardar tradiciónes...pero para que no mueren por completo hay que animar jovenes y igual tambien invitar extranjeros a participar...soy del centro de europa...y aki en Baviera tocan tradicionalmente unos 300 instrumentos differentes que venian de todas partes de muchissimas culturas...y claro...solo en algunos regiones remotos han sobrevivido instrumentos como la gaita (como el Egerländer Bock, Hümmelchen etc.) o el birimbao (harpa de boca o Trummerl) dulcemele y citaras...trompetas y tubas han venido de Turkia y han desplazado for ejemplo muchos instrumentos de la edad media yde tiempos anteriores y son hoy en dia lo que llamamos tradicionál.....así van las cosas....pero nadie viene a prohibir nos instrumentos ni cultura....y si....hay que dar la possibilidad a las jovenes a seguir y experimentar....y si se crean nuevas cosas....no lo podemos impedir...
@@leonardzulu777 Racista no, es la verdad. Mi canal no refleja ni la mitad de mi, tranquilo compañero.
Al folclore asturiano lo está matando el crecimiento negativo. Los inmigrantes no tienen culpa alguna de que los asturianos se vayan fuera para tener un trabajo decente. Y si no fuera por gente como tú, quizás valorarian mas las tradiciones de la región
Sinceramente, los inmigrantes, con los pocos que lleguen aquí, no son lo que lo está matando, sino la globalización y la desprestigación de nuestra cultura, que ya viene de largo. Los niños de hoy en día hablan Español de México casi, y no es por los emigrantes.
