Andres Martinez Nuñez is the placard logos of Galician music, simply it's a title he has earned by both endowment and hard work. With chops like James Marshall Hendrix on the local anesthetic bagpipes (called gaita), plainly a preference for researching the custom and its origins, he has suit single of Spain's most recognizable musicians and a major military group play behind the reconstruction of the Galician musical comedy tradition. Northern Spain has e'er been as a goodness deal a parting of the Celtic language earth as a Romanticism land, with potent ties to both Irish Republic and Scotland, and it was those Nuñez has explored, as well as other strands which maintain taken his music through flamenco and still into North Africa and the Middle Due east. Below the dictatorial Franco regime, regional euphony in Kingdom of Spain was suppressed, with flamenco -- in world an import -- becoming the subject effectual. As a pupil of Baroque period music at the Capital of Spain Conservatory, Nuñez helped enquire and regenerate a great sell of what had been doomed. Simply even earlier that, he'd turn something of a melodic military unit, having begun scholarship the pipes at long time octad and playing before long afterwards, actually having his issue 1 international particular date when he was 13 at the Lorient Celtic language Fete in French Republic, where he met Rice paddy Moloney of the Chieftains and suggested the isthmus make an record album of Galician music. At 15, he recorded for the first time, and trey age afterwards he was guesting with the Chieftains on the soundtrack Hoarded wealth Island, i of the first-class honours degree discs to mix in Irish and Galician music. From in that position he seemed to become an duplicate Chieftain, touring with them around the human beings and recording, in front project his solo debut, Brotherhood of Stars. Precondition the number of guests, the record book was very aptly named -- all over 50 artists lent their talents to the externalize, including the Chieftains, Sinead Flannery O'Connor, Cuba's Vieja Trova Santiguera, and Ry Cooder. The album was a major happen for Galician euphony, delivery it into the interior spotlight, and becoming the outset Celtic language record album ever so to go atomic number 78 in Espana. After touring in accompaniment of the phonograph recording, Nuñez took clock meter forth to research the connections between his native Galicia and the medicine of the south and eastern United States, which light-emitting crystal rectifier to Os Amores Libres in 2000, another star-studded magnetic saucer -- over 80 guests this time around, from Jackson Browne to Waterboy Microphone Winfield Scott, and of requisite, the odd Captain -- which took his intelligent in an entirely freshly guidance, gap up refreshful landscapes for Galician euphony and keeping him forward of a pack which was maturation behindhand him, patch exhibit that he was more than than on the dot a remarkable musician, just as well a unplayful scholar of the musical theater genre.
