- Julie Fowlis (Isle of North Uist, West of Scotland) and Muireann NicAmhlaoibh (Aran Islands, West of Ireland) visit Galicia, accompanied by Angus MacKenzie and Barry Kerr, to meet some musical friends.
From the BBC Alba series "Port" screened late summer 2018. In Gaelic with English subtitles. - เพลง
I am from Scotland and this music is quite similar to the music in my village. I am so proud to have these people as my Celtic cousins ❤️❤️❤️❤️
it can be Western culture common heritage, not necessarily Celtic. We still don't know very well who were the Celts and from where they came from (Probably France). and... Britain and Ireland were never referred as Celts...
@@endovelicus74There isn't any one specific people called "The Celts" it is an academic umbrella term for the many tribes that spoke what are categorized as Celtic languages and those people who still speak them. Celtic speaking peoples arrived from the mainland to Britain and Ireland and intermingled with the Neolithic peoples that were already there. The Celtic languages of Britain and Ireland are the Brythonic and Goidelic branches respectively. Also Western Europe™️ has treated Celtic cultures with genocidal disdain, whether its the Romans, English, French or Spanish there is no "shared Western culture" without uplifting one culture and stamping down all the rest.
@@endovelicus74 The ancient sites of Galicia are older than those of France, 500 years older, it is known that the ancient Gallaeci had the first Goidelic Celtic language in history, also according to research they could have reached Ireland on their travels and taken that language with them, but they were not Celtic yet, they were pre-Celtic. It is also known that the Gallaeci were the only ones who called themselves Celts before the Roman Empire, the word Galicia is an evolution of Gallaecia (as the Romans called them), Kallaikia (as the Greeks called them) and Keltia as was their name. original, the Kelts. And it is curious because in ancient times the C did not exist, the K was used. Many researchers believe that the Galician lands are the original lands of the Celts, I said of the Celts and not of the so-called Celtic romanticism of today. They have the oldest, largest and best preserved sites, as they even have towns from 2000 years ago almost intact. One more thing also happens, in their blood they have certain genes that are typical of the countries that are currently considered Celtic, they are prone to obesity (the same as Scots, Irish, Bretons and more), they have a certain resistance to certain diseases just like The rest of these countries and their origins are found through DNA methods in the ancient navigators of the time of Atlantic megalithism.
Now, with this I am not saying that they are the descendants of the original Celts (if it can be called anything) but that they share a relationship with them. The word Galicia (they were the first Gelic for their Q Celtic language, the first in history) Galicia means "the homeland of the Celts", this is referenced in the British Museum in the archive of peoples of the world.
I would also like to say again that I am talking about Celts as people and not Celts as the nonsense that emerged in the 19th century of which we are victims today, all to the rhythm of bagpipes, symbols and so on.
And it may sound like a fairy tale but in the Middle Ages many people still had pagan beliefs, they were persecuted by Roman Catholicism in a crazy way. Anyone who dared to call themselves a Celt, a Druid, or anything else that was not Catholic did not end well, there were even people who were accused by the inquisition of witchcraft or having certain so-called special abilities. This was brutal. Today everything is laughter, paganism is in fashion, we have certain ancestral symbols everywhere but the Middle Ages were very strong for these people. People who were almost always isolated from the rest of the peninsula by their mountains. Even if you travel to those lands as I did on the Camino (St.James) you will see high crosses everywhere, where those crosses were located there were menhirs before. They were sacred places. Catholicism was able to remove many of those tall stones and put those crosses in their place, but it could not take away from the minds of those people that those places were sacred, so it had no choice but to sanctify them.
@@endovelicus74I don't walk around calling myself a Celt! I am specifically talking about this type of culture, art and langauge!! I am not a celt, I am a scot and I don't walk around calling myself one so I don't understand why you are describing Celts like we are a group of people, I am talking about a specific type of culture, art and fashion that we all have in common. You can call it Celtic or whatever you like but you can't deny there is a link between these cultures.
'Celt cousins' doesn't mean we are literally cousins by genetics or ancestry, it just means we share something in common culturally.
@@endovelicus74-Yes, it’s Western, but within the West are the Celts, and if we do not acknowledge that subculture then it will forever stay invisible-And cultures unseen, will soon cease to be.
Celtic is an umbrella word for kinds of cultures past and present-Just as Germanic holds within it, the English, the Swedish, Icelandic, Norwegian, the Dutch, the Germans and so forth. Groups within groups.
the irish, the scottish are my celtic brothers and sisters i was born in galicia spain i love you all long live the celtic music and culture❤❤❤
Iam Irish... I love this Video.. I visited Santiago de Compastela. A few yrs ago and felt at home ❤
Thank you for feeling at home. Greetings from Galicia 🍀
It's nice to hear proper Celtic music when most things I can find on TH-cam are some fantasy ambient music that claims to be "Celtic".
but it had Celtic influences,John,Galicia and other regions considered Celtic in the Iberian peninsula no longer speak a Celtic language,but they keep the traditions still.
@@maximilianolimamoreira5002 Sorry, by "here" I meant TH-cam. I absolutely love Galician Celtic music.
is there any explicit definition of celtic music to distinguish it from fantasy music?
Or the references to “elves”.
@@Dragens2 because fantasy is in the making then probably not.
It's a good question.
In the case of Irish traditional music I would say that fantasy music has no place among purists.... And it's important to retain a purity in something traditional
My father's family is from Galicia, Spain. From Meira. Thank you for this lovely piece on the music of Celtic Spain.
Respect to our Celtic cousins from the Celtic Pagans of Eire. Keep our music and culture strong. Teach our children of who we are. Slainte agus Saorise
If you put a thousand people into a space and check their DNA you will find little difference, that Celtic cousins is brainwashing, man made crap, don't believe it dude
@@beeskees7553 So the black people descended from the slave trade shouldn't call themselves "brother" or "sister" because they're genetically similar to everyone else?
@@beeskees7553NOBODY SHOULD BELIEVE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING NONSENSE. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE A LOT MORE SIMILAR GENETICALLY, TO SOME RACES, THAN OTHERS. A SWEDISH PERSON'S DNA IS A LOT MORE SIMILAR TO A DANISH PERSON'S DNA, THAN THE DNA OF A GREEK PERSON. IN TERMS OF DNA, THERE ARE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RACES OF PEOPLE. THE NORTHERN SPANISH PEOPLE ARE CELTIC, JUST LIKE THE PEOPLE FROM THE BRITISH ISLES. ACCORDING TO PROFESSOR BYRAN SYKES, THEY BOTH HAVE GENETIC SIMILARITIES TO EACH OTHER. IN APPEARANCE, THEY ALSO, BOTH LOOK IDENTICAL TO EACH OTHER. YOU DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE THIS BECAUSE YOU'RE IGNORANT AND NO NOTHING ABOUT SPAIN AND THE PEOPLE FROM THE BRITISH ISLES. I WONDER WHAT COUNTRY YOU'RE FROM ? 🤔
@@beeskees7553Little difference in the British Isles is true including between an Englishman and Irishman. There is more difference but shared DNA also with the Western fringe around bay of biscay and the coast of Iberia. Differences are more marked as you go West scross Europe
No such thing as paganism. You are a fantasist.
My parents were Galician and now I'm leaving in Australia ... I have a lot of affinity with Scottish and Irish people... we are all celtic
Rudy, you have a affinity with everyone on this planet stop filling in your head with socity made nonsense, you are a human first and then you get brainwashed into thinking Celtic is different, it's not.
@@beeskees7553 i think maybe with the culture are very close and yes is obvious that you can have affinity with all people
@@beeskees7553 ..it is Different though,as Different as Oil n Water?..they do not know it.yet, but we are concerned about your Meglamania,.
@@beeskees7553 mate one can acknowledge the fact they are a part of humanity like everyone else while still appreciating the culture they were brought up in and its similarity to related ones. these are not mutually exclusive worldviews
@@beeskees7553 well said
I send my heartfelt gratitude to all who made this program possible. My grandfathers and all other generations of my family were born in Galicia. To see dances and hear music that all of my family would have loved as well as the foods has given me great joy. I pray that one day I will get to know Galicia in Spain, in person. God bless you all.
Yall Keep Forgetting That WHOLE North Portugal has also Celtic Culture Like Here!We have the same Music,Dances and etc.And I Am So proud of being from North Portugal (Braga It Its also is next to Galicia) And We should honor our Celtic Culture And Ancestry!This Video Also represents sm beautiful things for us all.Not to forget the Celtic/Iberian Paganism that we still have Traditions of (Well Portugal does i am not sure about the others).Have A Good Day Celtic Sisters And Brothers🇮🇪🏴🏴🇪🇸🇵🇹
Portugaliza 💖. A capital do Antergo Reino da GALLAECIA era Braga. O primeiro Conde de Portucale era da Corunha. Eire flag, Portugal flag, Galiza Flag... Atlantic culture.
GALLAECIA, Septimania, Hispania (is not Atlantic culture)
Isn't Portugal in Africa?
@@jimmymcconnie4954 Lol Almost But No
@@jimmymcconnie4954 No, but according to British information, Ireland is.
Nobody considers Portuguese as Celtic. It's an over stretched statement. Celtism in Portugal is a modern social phenomenon. If we have to consider Portuguese as "Celtic", than we have to consider also French, Germans, Italians, Swiss, Belgians, Austrians, English etc... because Celts lived there too, even longer.
Conclusion: identity can be forged following irrational social trends.
Fun Fact: The pipes were the first European instrument that are recorded to have been played in Brazil, probably by a galician in Pedro Alvares' Cabral fleet.
The portuguese Gaita was a very common instrument in Portugal pretty much until the 20th century....

Spain was called "Celtic Iberia" thousands of years before the Romans renamed it España. It was a Celtic land. Many left for Scottland and that is why you hear and see the music and similar dances. Lok at Jota (xota) original celtic dance. Looks like the highlander dances!
Princess Scota ruled Iberia Spain and Portugal from Egypt and then went and ruled Ireland and Scotland and got killed in battle in Ireland and buried there. We ate the original Egyptians the Irish. Everyone in the world spoke Old Irish before they prevented them from speaking and other groups would threaten to chop off their heads if they spole Old Irish because it was the Original language in the world. The Scotti family in Ireland was the most powerful family in Ireland. Why did the first King of Egypt get buried in Ireland? This was where the original Egyptians came from. The Celtic people went to Egypt. Ireland is Atlantis older than Egypt.

My last name is Padron which is a small city in Galicia founded by Celtic settlers. I’m beginning to find out about my heritage and last name of the Galicia region. I’m really happy to find out about my Celtic past.
oy que riquiño, padrón como os pimientos onyes pican e outros non lol. Watch it because normally in Spain, conversos (Jewish converted to Christianity in order not to be separated from their heads) were given the name of the city...so maybe you are a proud Sephardic.

Sent this video to my Irish American Cousin...💚
I'm Ecuadorian / Canadian. I was looking up Cape Breton (Canada) Celtic culture and Spanish celtic music popped up. I had no idea that Spain had celtic culture, but of course they have to. This was a pleasant treat. The BBC is amazing.
Cape Breton is actually Scottish culture from the Scottish migrants to Canada..
Goodness, what a beautiful language!!!! Is maith liom Ghaeilge! Viva Galicia!
@Belen Glasso It's really not. As a Castilian who lived in Galicia for years, I love it. Also, I find the idea of finding other languages terribly problematic and in some cases even borderline xenophobic. They might not be your cup of tea, but there is plenty of great things that non-speakers can appreciate about other languages.
@@Trunchisholm Opinions aren’t problematic, they’re a human right. The word problematic is problematic because it assumes that one’s viewpoint dictates reality. As for xenophobic? Not liking a language doesn’t mean one is afraid of it, or its people. Certainly not unsoundly. We are not required to love everything or everyone. Nor can we.
I like the Galician Tongue, not as much as Portuguese, but still-But you casting slurs at a man for not liking the language, as if it is some unforgivable moral failing, is just false and poorly reasoned.
@@richlisola1 @richlisola1 What are even talking about? Who's stopping anyone from expressing their opinion? Definitely not me. Also, love the double standards about you calling me out for merely expressing my opinion. You know having the right to expressing an opinion is not at odds with said opinion being dreadful, right? Some opinions are absolutely problematic, and there's nothing wrong with pointing that out. As for the word problematic, it's a word, it doesn't assume anything; it's an adjective that means "giving good reason for being doubted, questioned, or challenged", which is perfectly apt in this case. Love the mental gymnastics, though.
Also, you know that xenophobia is not just fear of people from other countries, right? The term also means strong and unreasonable dislike for other countries and cultures, which is what I was referring to. Not liking a language for whatever reason, although odd to me, is fair enough. Going out of your way to post in a video about Galician music to call the language terrible is not. It's a shitty opinion. What exactly makes Galician, or any language for that matter, terrible? Where does that strong dislike come from?
As for you saying I'm casting slurs at someone, I really think you should dial down the drama. No need to defend that person's honour when they haven't even been bothered or offended enough to reply to my comment.
Gracias por compartir este emotivo y bonito video, la música celta es una auténtica delicia, siempre que puedo acudo a los conciertos o festivales.👍👍👏👏👏
Nice to have all that music on a record. Brilliant.
Muito bonito! Como adoraria que nada desta tradição de Gallaecia e da Europa se perdesse. 😀🕈

Feel sorry for those that do not see this excellent video, my ancestors were Celtiberians, also being a musician in the U S makes it the more special!
Awesome video! I love Galicia, the Galician language, and the Celtics.
Thank you so much! I am from Cadiz but dad's family is from Ireland.

Cuando era chica, vivia con mis abuelos gallegos. y a veces me vienen expresiones que tenia muy ocultas en mi memoria, "Meigas fora" decia mi abuela. Pero , lamentablemente, ellos solo lo hablaban entre ellos y yo no lo aprendí.
Inda tes tempo de comezar a aprendelo. :)
Soy argentina, acá, pese a que está lleno de descendientes de españoles, no hay lugares donde se enseñe el gallego. Antes estaba el centro gallego de BsAs, no sé si todavía hay cursos de gallego.
Hola tremenda bellesa , la peninsula Iberica es el eje del mundo. Saludos Iberian gracias por crear el mundo moderno
Outstanding, from start to finish.
Interesting video! My husband is half Galician and half Taiwanese! His paternal side is from La Coruña. Since, he was really young when he lived there, he’s not able to tell me much about his fatherland. So, I’m researching on my own...so fascinating! He did tell me that he thinks his grandmother or great-grandmother might have German roots. This video reflects that it’s not just him, it’s a common thread in the diverse and unique Galician community!
German and Galician! just like me! my dads German and my mum is from Lugo
A Coruña not La Coruña
Maloserá Both are correct, actually. It depends on which region you are from and/or what language you speak. Some Galicians would say “A Coruña” and those who speak ‘standard’ Castilian Spanish would say “La Coruña.” My husband’s family speaks Castilian Spanish most of the time, thus “La.” The majority in Galicia speak the Galician language (Gallego), so I guess my in-laws are the population who speak Castilian Spanish or both. Although they understand Galician/Gallego, but some not as fluent. It’s probably also because most family members have moved and have lived in Canada and the U.S. for decades and Castilian Spanish is spoken here more than Galician.
@@wctoronto i pronounce it as A Coruña, as I'm a native Portuguese speaker.

Wonderful music - the only thing missing was Julie playing the Highland bagpipes - she can, I've seen her on other TH-cam videos!🙂
Exactly the same type of music exists in some parts of Greece.
Thanks. This is one of the most interesting and informative videos I have ever seen. My Dad used to take us to Mull during the summers while he studies archeology/anthropology, and I never knew what you presented in this video. I learn something from BBC all the time.
I'm down in Bunessan on the Ross of Mull - I'd love to hear about where your Dad took you - here's a link to help you reminisce (I'm on the far right !) th-cam.com/video/-5IOJaUzY2Ar/w-d-xo.html
@@iantibbetts22 Hi Ian, We used to go over to Iona on the ferry and while he worked, I played all over the area. If I remember, he also did some investigations around Carsaig House since some where along there I remember an old round fort of sorts. We stayed with a Lady in Bunessen who had a spacious attic and lots of little elves all over her lawn. Sometimes we stayed at the more expensive Ardfenaig House (hotel) which was run by a man named Ian Bowels and his partner. Behind Ardfenaig, there is a "hidden beach" which was fantastic! No one seemed to know about it. I have not been to Mull for a donkeys years but in my heart it's still alive and well with very warm memories.
Excellent,
What I like most is the conversational style,it is a performance not particularly for an audience. Well, that and I'm a sucker for a hurdy gurdy.
Muy bonito el vídeo.
The piece Julie and company do starting 33:22 is just wonderfully done. I think it originally off Altrum.

Como desendiente Galego estoy muy orgulloso da mio raizes.
remember, Reino de Galicia was the first Kingdon in Europe, in the early midle age.
The Visighotic kingdom of Hispania existed before Galicia
@@Yosoyosoy you are absolutly wrong. And you know it.
@@xoanlueiro9973 just a question the visigothic kingdom of Spain was before or after early medieval age?
The Suevo Kingdom of Gaellecia (which included the north of present-day Portugal, which did not exist then) was prior to and contemporary with the Visigothic Kingdom of Toledo and ended up being included in this Visigothic Kingdom of Hispania; because as Saint Gregory of Tours wrote to the Visigothic Kings of Toledo, that is how his king called them in his letters: Rex Hispaniae.
Therefore, the Suevian Kingdom of Gallaecia was older, although not much. It was precisely the Romans who called the Visigoths to Hispania to recover the territories of Gallaecia in the hands from the Suevi and also expel the Vandalos and Alans invaders from Iberia (Greek name for Hispania).
Although it must be noted that Roman Gallaecia was a broader territorial circumscription than current Galicia and its language was Vulgar Latin, since we are talking about the 5th century and the last period of the Roman Empire and the Barbarian invasions.
Greetings from the Iberian lands of Valentia edetanorum, current Valencia.
El Reino Suevo de Gaellecia ( que incluia el norte del actual Portugal que entonces no existia) fue anterior y contemporaneo del Reino Visigodo de Toledo y acabo incluido en este Reino Visigodo de Hispania; pues tal como escribia San Gregorio de Tours a los Reyes visigodos de Toledo, asi los denominaba el en sus cartas: Rex Hispaniae.
Por lo tanto si que fue mas antiguo, aunque poco el Reino Suevo de Gallaecia. Precisamente fueron los romanos los que llamaron a los visigodos a Hispania para recuperar los territorios de Gallaecia en manos de los suevos y expulsar tambuen a los Vandalos y alanos invasores de Iberia ( nombre griego de Hispania).
Aunque hay que indicar que la Gallaecia romana era una circunscripcion territorial mas amplia qye la actual Galicia y su idioma era el latin vulgar, pues estamos hablando del Siglo V y ultimo periodo del Imperio Romano y las invasiones Barbaras.
Saludos desde las tierras iberas de Valentia edetanorum, actual Valencia.
Julie Fowlis is very famous and has lots of music on amazon and youtube.
Me encanta nuestro folklore en España. Las panderetas, los panderos, las castañuelas, se tocaba con todo lo que había por la cocina, desde dos cucharas, un caldero, una sartén... y nuestras jotas, de todo tipo. Gaitas, zanfoñas, bandurrias, vihuelas, laúdes, etc... y bailes. Los celtas no se quedaron sólo en el norte de España, se juntaron con las tribus iberas, los celtíberos, así que hay mucha mezcla realmente en casi toda la península incluyendo a Portugal. Viví en Irlanda muchos años y me gusta. Pero debo de reconocer que durante ese tiempo aprendí a querer más a mi país y toda su variedad. Y se entiende perfectamente el gallego para los que solo hablamos castellano.
Excelente música de gaita

Its very interesting to me as a Newfoundlander listening to this as my culture developed out of irish culture as well as other celtic peoples as well..however the spanish and portugese and french have also infiltrated our culture and some of these peoples came from celtic areas as well..as a person who loves bagpipe music it might be interesting to note that the oldest painting of a bagpiper in newfoundland where im from which is very old,is not a highland piper or irish piper but seems to resemble the bagpioes of galacia or area there abouts..id love to know exactly where but it does stand as a link between all our celtic cousins etc.. thalamh an eisc agus eireann agus Galacia go bragh
I think the earliest references to the bagpipes are from Persia (or perhaps India).

I view the Galician Language like I view the Scots Leid. It’s not Celtic but it grew out of a Celtic folk
Never thought of it but really makes sense
Galician is a latin language sharing same origins as portuguese in the Middle Ages (portuguese and galician literature at the time were the same). The remnants of an ancient celtic language in Galicia are present today in geography (names of rivers, mountains, towns, fields...) and in some hundred of galician words.
@@ramonaparicio1730-Yes that’s not in dispute. But even though Galician is a Romance Language, it is one that was born out of a Celtic people who infused it with aspects of their speech, culture and roots.
One thing about modern Romance Languages is that they emerged from conquered lands that were mostly Celtic speaking. The lands whose folk learned Latin under duress, and so infused their “Latin” with bits of the Old Tongue. Changing Latin forever and leading to creation of the Modern Romance languages.
Eu vivo en Galicia , terra meiga, un lugar máxico e fermoso!
I am very intrigued about my families Celtic and Basque Heritage. Both my paternal line and maternal line have taken autosomal DNA and the BIG Y paternal DNA Tests. We all carry Basque DNA. My paternal Matlock line has Northern Frankish Origins & descends from the Manapii Tribe based on their Big Y results, DNA Confirmed. My Owens line is coming from West Cork in the Munster region of Ireland and migrated to Wales. They somehow share DNA with Rev. Goronwy Owen, the poet of Wales. My Ruggles line 23andMe Haplogroup is R-Z209 and we are awaiting the Big Y results. The Basque DNA Marker is R-M153 which is the descended child of R-Z209. My paternal Aunt's daughter, a cousin on my Ruggles line and myself carry the Rh Negative Bloodline. I want so much to see the land of my ancestors!
Owens is a very common Welsh surname, it's not Irish so you are most likely Welsh than Irish but in any case their DNA is pretty much identical.
@@aldozilli1293, yes you are right. It's been 4 years since I placed my comment and have since learned more! My maternal Grandfather is of Welsh origin via Rev. Goronwy Owen. He always said his line was from Wales. Autosomal DNA Matches are confirming our connection to his son John Lloyd Owen via Goronwy's 3rd wife Joan Iona "Jonah" Brown who married Simmons, Owen & Harrison.
I'm hispanic but when I did a DNA test I saw some Asturias and Galician in there. Interesting.
Hi!! I want to share this video with my mom (she was born in Galicia) but she doesn't understand English to read the subtitles. I can do the subtitles in Spanish if you let me, so she can understand, can you please tell me how to add the subtitles in Spanish here? I'm not very savvy with TH-cam.
Hi Noelia, really glad you liked it but as there are already sub-titles here, I would not want to add more sub-titles here. I suggest you use a "Screen Capture" app to record it as a video and then use something like Windows MovieMaker to add the subtitles to your video - that would be relatively easy, even if you haven't done it before.

Según los genes hubo muchos intercambios entre las gentes de Gallaecia ,Asturias y del resto de la cornisa cantábrica con las de las islas británicas. Los irlandeses y británicos dejaron su simiente aquí y los nuestros en sus tierras.
Lo que ocurría es que hace alrededor de dos milenios era más fácil viajar en barco a esas islas que al resto de España, especialmente para los gallegos, ya que los montes de León constituían una especie de frontera natural muy difícil de sortear.
Sin embargo no creo que los celtas british e irish desciendan únicamente de Galicia...xq en Francia, Alemania, Países Bajos, norte de Italia, etc también había celtas ,que es de suponer también viajaban a las islas .
I agree that contact by sea was easier and more effective than by land, particularly in regions where there were few or no Roman roads. That contact was essential to develop trade as well as cultural exchange. I believe there were people living all over Europe before 10,000 BC, most had walked to those places before the last Ice Age, including into the UK. Specialists with skills or products to sell or exchange moved around from place to place, in Western Europe by boat. As a result, language and culture started to evolve together, and what we think of today as ‘Celtic’ developed. It remained strongest where the Romans/Germanic tribes were least present, the Atlantic coastal regions.
@@iantibbetts22 Agree with your post. A number of authors have postulated that there still is a cultural continuum in Atlantic Europe, forming a cultural unit which has its roots in prehistoric times but remained until today mostly thanks to sea trade. Geographers also mention the influence of the natural environment in the construction of a similar cultural landscape along the western European coasts (taken from wikipedia). BTW, this is more cultural than genetic, considering the Germanic and Viking invasion of the Isles. I do think, my opinion, that our common Celtic roots and culture makes us cousins of sorts.
Parece ser que fueron los celtas del norte de la península Ibérica, los primeros en recorrer largas distancias en el mar ( pueblos celtas) y por eso fueron ellos los primeros en llegar a las islas británicas
@@serbarr2087There were Germanic tribes that entered Iberia including Northern Spain at more or less the same periods as the British Isles and slightly before. I know that the DNA marker left by the Anglo-Saxon invasions in Britain are actually much less than first thought, hence Irish and English DNA are almost indistinguishable and very closely related, more so than English with Franco-Germanic DNA.
@@aldozilli1293 what is your galegos fake genetic distance to other peoples ?, its not to skotias not to irish that are more closer danes and sweden , your most closer people are the south french , swiss , austrians north italians and balkanites like albanians , romanians bulgarians , stop the bull , you are fake kallaicos only north of portugal are the true kallaicos durienses
My first surname is Galician :)
Sounds just like Portuguese. My wife and I visited Portugal last year and it's home to a people I came to love. Does this music live in the sense that families or friends commonly make it when they get together or is it the province only of professional musician
Lo celta o céltico es un elemento histórico-cultural que no se circunscribe a Galicia, sino que es común a gran parte de la Península Ibérica, en particular su mitad occidental y las cuencas del Ebro y el Duero, según señaló el profesor Ramón Sainero, director del Curso de Especialización en Estudios Célticos de la Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP). Sainero precisó que la identificación exclusiva de Galicia con lo celta es errónea. De hecho, aseguró que existe constancia de la presencia de esta antigua cultura en lugares tan diversos como Cádiz, Portugal o Guadalajara, y los yacimientos arqueológicos más importantes que se relacionan con la misma se encuentran en esta última provincia y en otras de Castilla y León.
My last name is Galicia. I still wonder why my last name is not Gallego (after the language)
It's probably of Maltese origin. Very common there.
Somos Galegos
Does anyone have lyrics for these?
Galiza ceive!
Does an English version of this exist? I'd love to be educated more about Celtic music.
They don't specify that Galician is not a Gaelic language at all. It is a Romance language close to Portuguese. So the Gaelic language was lost in Spain hundreds (many hundreds) of years ago, but some cultural traits (like music) hint to a Gaelic past.
Edit: I wrote Gaelic but I meant Celtic
Yeah but for me,Gallego is more close to Spanish instead of Portuguese,but they're still some Portuguese words remain in this language for example they use "falar" instead of "hablar"...greeting!
WTF do you mean it's "bastardized and unnatural" lol. Languages influencing each other is not unnatural. Galician is 100% a natural evolution of Old Galician-Portuguese.
@@aliffirfan9267 you get it wrong, portuguese comes from galician, which is what they talked in the whole region of north-west and west of the peninsula....you would say porguese was born as a dialect of the galician...
They dont specify it coz i think anyone who isnt deaf can actually tell it is that way....
@@Trikipum You're absolutely right
ô povu fêi!!!!!
Spain have 3 culture Celtioiberic- Galeaci, Cantabri, Cessetani, Lusitani ,Arevaci, Celtici....Helleni-Edetani......Punic-Turdetani, Language latina ,creazy mix.Only Irland language using to today remeber yet imperium romanum
When Julie and Miuranne are speaking to each other is in Irish gaelic or Scottish gaelic?
I'm not an expert but Julie speaks Scottish Gaelic and Muireann speaks 'Gaeilge' (Irish). The languages have diverged over time but remain sufficiently close to be mutually understood.
Again, I don't know but I suspect both Julie & Muireann make some concessions to avoid phrases that may not be understood by the other.
@@iantibbetts22 thanks Ian. I thought that was probably the case.
Bhi se sin go hiontach. O Baile Atha Cliath.
También ai que recordar que desde 1388, el título de Principe de Galicia-Asturias se ha utilizado para los herederos de los tronos y reinos. De reyes castellanos y españoles que viene siendo de todo España 👑🤴👸, y saludos para la familia Rios#1👍✌️.
Que le den por el culo a España, Galiza Ceive, independencia!
É mas tem nada haver com a Espanha
Maloserá asi es 💪
Loa gallegos somos españoles, siempre hemos sido españoles y vamos a seguir siendo españoles hasta que las ranas críen pelo. VIVA GALICIA Y VIVA ESPAÑA.
