>    The Bay Area is fortunate to have Senor Alexandre
> Cadarso visiting
> from Galicia,
> the the northwest province of Spain. He will be
> giving a recital
> which will feature
> the music of the Gaita, the traditional bagpipe of
> Galicia.  The
> people of Galicia
> are Celtiberians, and share many cultural traits
> with their Scottish, Irish and
> Breton cousins, including a rich and vibrant
> tradition of music and dance.  The
> Gaita is somewhat similar to the more familiar
> Scottish bagpipe, but
> it is smaller,
> with a warmer timbre.  Its music is Celtic, but with
> hypnotic rhythms
> and sensuous
> melodies that mark it as clearly from Spain.
>
>    Alexandre Cadarso was born in Santiago de
> Compostela, and teaches in the
> University there.  His first teacher of the Gaita
> was Professor
> Manuel Miramontes.
> Later he studied at the Santiago de Compostela
> Conservatory of Music.
> He has participated in several folkloric societies
> and popular music
> groups, notably "Cantigas e Agarimos" and
> "Brincadeira".  He
> collaborates the group "Resonet"
> playing Early Music.  At the present time he is a
> teacher of Gaita at the
> Traditional Music School of Brion, in A Coruna,
> Galicia.  It is a rare pleasure
> to be able to hear and learn from him.
>
> For more information on Sr Cadarso, phone Kevin Carr
> at (650) 468-5389.
