Cristina Pato: Galician-Tinged Bagpipes, In The Studio

Soundcheck | Jun 13, 2013

The bagpipes typically conjure images of rotund, bearded men in kilts playing traditional Scottish songs. Yet Cristina Pato, the sensational bagpiper from Galicia (the Celtic region of northern Spain), shatters that stereotype. Pato is perhaps most famous for her collaboration with cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and brings that unique sound of Galicia to the Soundcheck studio. 

Set List:

  • "Muiñeira for Cristina"
  • "Muiñeira da Carmen"
  • "Pandeirada Bestia"
