Description :
| It is the re-edition of 10 records, of the so-called stone or slate records, of 78 r.p.m. with a total of 20 songs. They were recorded in Ferrol on 12 and 13 June 1922, by the Compañía del Gramophone. The songs recorded were chosen from the traditional repertoire of Toxos e Froles with a clear national Galician intention. On it we can listen to a mosaic from different Galician areas, ranging from Ribadeo to Redondela, going through Betanzos, Corrubedo, Monforte de Lemos and Santiago. Among the pieces gathered we would like to highlight “Alborada popular”, commonly known as the Alborada de Rosalía de Castro, which was so well known at the time that all groups sang it. We would also like to point out the performance by the Toxos trio, formed by a bagpipe, clarinet and drum (Manuel Lorenzo, Andrés García and José Fernández), of two instrumental pieces: “A volta da festa” and “Muiñeira”. The tenor, José Area Carregado, was who recorded the “Canto d’arrieiro”. Also worth mentioning is that another of the songs is in fact the first recording of the “Himno Gallego” by Pondal and Veiga, in its integral version, that is to say, the Offical Galician Anthem as it is today. 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. |
