$16.99
(cdRoots# gal-fabirol06)
The 2005 release by this unique band from Aragon, Spain, that inhabits a previous century in both its source material and its instrumentation. the use instruments both modern and ancient, including hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes (gaita de boto), accordion, some unusual regional percussion and reed instruments (chiflo and fabirol), guitars, mandolins, mandolas, all accented by great singing. This is a 'children's recording' of sorts, with a light and airy feeling but not much in the way of the sugary whining we have come to expect from the genre. Mostly it is lively, Aragonese period music, marvelously played, with wit, spirit and great musicianship.
