Göteborgs Konserthus Tambourines from Galicia

Event has already taken place

This concert gives you contemporary Galician folk music with Celtic strains, by and with Xabier Díaz, an award-winning musician and composer from Galicia in Spain with a passionate relationship to song and tambourines. Music from Spain is so much more than flamenco. In Galicia, the Celtic legacy is looked after, and Xabier Díaz has been part of many constellations of artists from across the world with his contemporary Galician folk music.

Over the past few years, he has had a close collaboration with so-called pandereterias, a traditional Galician group of around a dozen tambourine-playing singers.

In 2015, they released their first album together, and the collaboration has continued from there. In 2017, they released the single O Baile de Noró (the dance of the Noró). The English name of the piece doesn’t really matter – you will still discover the power of tambourines.
