Camín de Cantares

It is clear that there is not lack of talent in Asturies. In this video Pepín de Muñalén-flute and three good friends (Ambás-voice, Rubén-Mandolin and Elías-Bouzouki) show how beautiful Asturian music is. The video belongs to the TV series "Camín de Cantares" in the Asturian television, a must for lovers of oral tradition, hosted by Ambás. In the series, Ambás interviews elder Asturian people gathering songs and stories, which at the end of each show are performed by young musicians (as in this post's video). A priceless job from which you can see plenty of videos here

Gangs

Good news for my funky-party vein. The Tony Manero Foundation released their new album (read and listen). Making things even better my loved Javi drew a eight pages comic included in the CD. Money well spent!
Lo que faltaba p'alimentar la mio vena funky-festiva. La Fundación Toni Manero saca discu nuevu (llee y escucha). La cosa yá nun tien remediu si col CD vien un comic d'ocho páxines sobre pandilleros fechu pol fantásticu Javi. Perres mui bien gastaes!

Ciclo Folc de Cámara Ígor Medio

The chamber concerts of Asturian folk which take place yearly in Xixón are named from now on after our friend Ígor. He was organising these concerts and his commitment and usual contagious optimism resulted in the formation/consolidation of some of the most interesting groups in the Asturian folk scene (i.e. Tuenda). Below a video of Ígor Medio and Lisardo Prieto playing the song Ribeseya.
Los conciertos de folc que cada añu se faen na Casa Natal de Xovellanos garren a partir d'agora'l nome del nuestru amigu Ígor. Gracies al su compromisu, enerxía y optimismu contaxiosu tiró d'esta actividá palantre, que resultó na consolidación dalgunos de los grupos más interesantes del folc n'Asturies (p. ex. Tuenda).
