Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. Making me a bit homesick for the SW U.S. where the Spanish influence is very strong.Liz Strattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355785887810653358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982451646964731525.post-48482331429615828802011-11-06T13:36:24.194-08:002011-11-06T13:36:24.194-08:00I know practically nothing about musical instrumen...I know practically nothing about musical instruments, but I wondered on reading your article and listening to the music whether the design of the round-backed Ovation guitars owed anything to the timple.

It's great to discover a part of the world that continues traditional music and instruments despite the pressure of modern cultural influences. For many centuries the Canary Islands must have been a strong force too, when sailing ships from every country stopped there.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982451646964731525.post-16963285775489634072011-11-05T13:05:17.299-07:002011-11-05T13:05:17.299-07:00Great post - and what fabulous music as well.

It reminds me of some Celtic/Spanish fusion music which has become popular in recent years. It’s interesting that the dance in the second clip could be from local folk dance groups almost anywhere in the world. Children at school in UK do a similar dance and it makes you realise that many of these Canarian dances will have have been passed on through travel and emigration. The costumes are lovely.Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.com
