History
Carlos Núñez made the Galician gaita, the bagpipe of northwest Spain, sound like a lead instrument with a place far beyond the village festival. He comes from Vigo and trained on both gaita and recorder, and his playing combines the ornamented dance tunes of Galicia with a virtuoso's speed and a very open ear for other traditions. A long association with The Chieftains, with whom he toured and recorded for years, brought him to an international audience and connected him with the wider Celtic music world of Ireland, Scotland and Brittany. His debut album A irmandade das estrelas, released in 1996, gathered a large cast of guests and became unusually successful for a folk record in Spain. Later albums such as Os amores libres pushed further, bringing in flamenco, Portuguese, Latin American and North African colours around the pipes. Listeners recognise Núñez by the bright, singing tone of the gaita, fast ornaments and trills, and arrangements that treat Galicia as one point in a long Atlantic chain of Celtic music.
