Alexandre Cadarso & Javier Blanco
Tuesday August 12, 2008
$10-$20 sliding scale - 7:30pm
Enchanting traditional music of the northwest corner of Iberia with Galician folk musicians Alexandre Cadarso and Javier Blanco. Alexandre plays the gaita, the bagpipe of Galicia, the flute & the accordion. Javier plays the diatonic accordion & mandolin. They have played in festivals across Galicia, and now bring their exciting & exhilarating music to the US.
The music of Galicia is a heady mix of Latin, Arabic and Celtic influences. Bagpipes have been a main instrument in this culture for centuries, and the mountainous terrain and relative isolation have preserved old and vital traditions. This music will draw you in and captivate you.
This presentation will be happening in the cafe lobby. Limited seating!
