My Asturian father would weep in Cuba and in California whenever he would hear his Asturian bagpipe music, and I just got watery-eyed watching this and remembering him....He passed away here in Miami, U.S.A. in 2009 just a few months short of his 104th birthday...... Adolfo González Fernández, born in Las Caldas de Oviedo, ( Parish of San Juán de Priorio ) Asturias, Spain. Rest in peace viejo...We shall never forget you.....b.1905 d.2009
Good to see the Celtic roots of my father's Asturias in this video....I know about the Celtic origins of our brothers and sisters to the north, the Scottish, the Irish, and the Britons, but DO NOT forget us Spaniards, and children of Spaniards..Northern Spain has a large percentage of population with Celtic genes, and most Cubans like myself are the children or grand-children of Asturians, Galicians, ( Gallegos ) and Catalonians..We are proud of our Celtic traditions. Sierra Cuban, Miami, U.S.A.
Actually populations all across the European Atlantic coast -so called "Celtic"- are of Iberian descent, just take a look at genetic research on R1b haplogroup.
The transmission of Celtic roots remains alive. You can see how these distant Asturian descendants play the Asturian bagpipes and dance Celtic dances in their native Cuba ( It is the Asturian "Muñeira of Tormaleo"): m.th-cam.com/video/M5ILGKxr26g/w-d-xo.html
Bagpipes are *NOT* "Celtic." This is misinformation, an anachronistic nonsense. Also the claim that the traditional music in parts of Spain or other places is "Celtic" also romanticised rubbish. No-one is playing "Celtic" music.
No but they introduced them to the Irish and Scots. They both claim them as part of their culture too.. I guess it's better than deep fried Mars bars and petrol bombs..
@@alfsmith4936 Who are "they"? Scotland got bagpipes from England (where they came from France and Germany), and bagpipes came relatively late to Ireland. Bagpipes came to England in Medieval times (very popular in the 14th & 15th centuries), later they were introduced to Scotland and then Ireland. Bagpipes are found in all parts of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and into places like Iran, Afghanistan and nothern India. In antiquity, they developed in the Middle East and spread from there. Bagpipes are no more Scottish, Irish or Galician than they are English, Greek, French or Persian.
@@andrewwigglesworth3030 I never said they were Spanish.. I said the Spanish introduced them to the Scots and Irish, which they did, when trade routes opened up after the Moors invaded Spain.
@@alfsmith4936 Where do you get this nonsense; or do you make it up for yourself? The Islamic Empire invaded and took over the Iberian Peninsula from its Visigoth rulers in the years between 711 and 714 BCE. Bagpipes did not come to Ireland and Scotland (or England indeed) until many hundreds of years later. btw. Educate yourself. Ireland and Scotland are not the same place, either historically or culturally.
"The Islamic Empire invaded and took over the Iberian Peninsula" ... right up to the Picos de Europa, leaving the Christian kingdom of Asturias to begin the Reconquista.
