Description :
| In the year 1904 a “travelling laboratory” belonging to the Compagnie Française du Gramophone, travels from París for making recordings recordings (in those days they were called impressions) of the chorus Aires da Terra de Pontevedra. Pedro Ferrer, a businessman from A Coruña, taking into consideration the lucrative American market of emigration, paid the Gramophone Company for the rights on the discs with Galician songs.Popular artists and oral tradition musicians. A total of eighteen melodies, originally edited for the gramophone which make up the first Galician record. The repertoire is a reflection of the most popular rhythms which were being sung in Galicia more than one hundred years ago, mainly alalás, muiñeiras and foliadas. This record is part of the A Tiracolo collection, which restores historical recordings of Galician music (from the northeast of Spain). This collection recovers the Galician musical heritage in a digital format, principally recordings made between 1904 and 1960. It includes an unedited and rigorous 18-page documentary study, featuring an abundant amount of photographic material, originally from museums and private collections. The booklet has been written in four languages: Galician as the main language, Spanish, English and French. The use of bagpipes and hurdy-gurdies is a traditional characteristic of Galician music, as well as the use of many percussion instruments, such as the tambourine, the drum and sea-shells, but also because of its vocal richness. It is highly endogenous due to its rich medieval lyrical tradition and also because of the country’s cultural isolation until the 19th century. Its atlantic-style features mean that it is often categorised as so-called Celtic music, which refers to the musical traditions of Celtic countries (Ireland, Scotland, the Isle of Man, Cornwall, Brittany, Asturias and Galicia). Moreover, it bears a remarkable resemblance to the music from the North of Portugal. Due to the vast amount of Galician emigration to America in the 19th century, new Latin-American rhythms were introduced along with new instruments and line-ups. |
