Cruz Celta

    For 28 years playing and researching Celtic Music, join many groups, projects and with talented artists.  Among them I highlight, in chronological order, Alma Celta, Keltoi, Lunan, Triskel and Mandala Folk.

 

    There were countless shows, rehearsals, lectures, interviews, trips, and events in a fantastic laboratory where I learned to play many instruments and develop myself in the style playing recorder, whistles, irish flute, celtic cello, drums, bohdran, implement, fine percussion, bouzouki, keyboards, as well as singing, arranging, and composing Celtic music.

 

    Celtic Music, as well as this entire culture, is present in several regions of Europe, especially Ireland and Scotland due to its greater geographic isolation and today, in this order, others with less prevalence and greater incorporation of diverse cultural influences such as England, France (Brittany), Spain (Galicia) and countries that received immigrants from these locations such as Canada, USA, Australia and others. Influences of this culture can be detected in several other countries that have already been populated by peoples of Celtic origin such as Portugal and even northern Italy or by a period of economic and cultural exchange resulting from trade routes, migrations, invasions, wars and territorial power at some time as occurred involving Nordic, Germanic and even influencing regions of Eastern Europe, Mediterranean and East.

     It is necessary to consider the "retro influence" of these contacts and that much of this culture assimilate from cultural sources coming, in Romanesque times, from the Mediterranean (Rome and Greece) and Eastern Europe and the East when Celtic tribes were sovereign in their regions or during the incursions Roman and Germanic tribes' invasions (Saxons, Goths, Alemanni, Vandals and others). In this way, various musical instruments, art styles and techniques were incorporated into this culture or developed there in a long complex history that has on one hand the originality and on the other the ability to absorb and learn from its neighbors and visitors. It never stopped. Even in recent times, "Traditional Irish Music" is filled with new instruments and melodies, as we could see in the 70s with the Hippie wave and great interest in Indian culture by English, American and Irish artists experimenting with scales and taking instruments such as zithers, bouzoukis, this one that is already considered a traditional instrument by many and already takes on its own format and adornments, the mandolins from Southern European countries and others that have been developed by their own American immigrants such as the banjo. If we go back in time, we will even reach the moment when the guitars (guitars) arrived there, and before the violin fever in the century. XVII, the frame drums in the century. XIV and harps in the Middle Ages.
