translate it better). That is a dance Romans already said old
Astures (B.C.) use to dance : all of the dancers forming a circle and taking the next person's pinky finger. While they dance they sing simple melodies with a main singer singing first an the rest of the people repiting his verses like a choir.

romantic invention. However, it is worth noting a) that much
Galician and Asturian traditional music is dominated by bagpipes, and b) that much modern Galician folk and folk-rock is strongly influenced by Irish traditions.

As a side note, Galician and
Asturian music (not Cantabrian) sure have Celtic influence (especially since recent times), but they are not Celtic by any means. They have Celtic influences, of course, but their roots don't actually come from ancient Gallaeci or Astures. And I am not a "southern Spanish

Galicia can discover its history and the old history, much older than Spain, Galicia if it is Celtic, Galicia was one of the ancient Celtic world countries, many scholars believe is the oldest and the origin of the Celtic culture, Many people complain of Galician nationalism but worse Spanish

This article suggests that the traditional music of
Galicia is “Celtic”, implying affinity with the traditional musics of Scotland and Ireland. Readers should be aware that most scholars are likely to consider this poppycock. Galicia is not in any real sense “Celtic”, and its traditional music (as

I can see a deep ideological tension running through this article. The result is confusing and quite poor. Also it seems to be mainly about
Galician music, where Asturian music is like a footnote to it. They do not even mention the Asturian "First Dance" ("danza prima" sorry, I do not know how to

Cantabria is the one which has less in Common. Until 1975, Cantabria was Castile. It was just separated from Castile because it was quite difficult to make such a big administrative region. But Cantabria is more Castillian than Leon.

I wrote some more interesting information, curiosly avoided when talking about celtic influences. I cannot understand why other peoples of Spain insist in denying some parts of galician history. I'm sorry I forgot signing in my last
