Cantares y sones de ciegu n'Asturies | |
FA.CD. 8787¡Ea, señores usías! |
Under this title, formula to attract the attention from the last lines of a published in 1755, we offer a selection of music compiled in Asturias joined by the character of its performer: the blind. There are romances about murders, humoristic ones, about monsters and extraordinary facts; satiric and picaresque couplets; political tunes and dances for feasts and gardens. All of the tracks have a simple and appropriated instrumentation, depending on the cases: violin, drums, triangle and the hurdy-gurdy, played by Fonsu Fernández, the one who compiled the works and who is the director of the Gaitas Museum in Gijón. |
