	Music of Galicia, Cantabria and Asturias - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The traditional music of Galicia is probably the least related to the rest of the Iberian Peninsula, although some similarities exist with the neighbouring areas of Asturias and Cantabria or Castille and northern Portugal and, in a similar way to the Balearic islands, it is characterized by an extensive use of bagpipes.
		In recent times, however, many Galician folk musicians have considered Galician music to be at least partially “Celtic” in origin, and whether or not this is the case much modern commercial Galician folk and folk-rock is strongly influenced by Irish and Scottish traditions.
		The Latin language came to dominate the region, and is the ancestor of all the Romance languages of the Iberian Peninsula: Galician, Portuguese, Aragonese, Aranese, Astur-Leonese-Mirandese, Castilian (Spanish) and Catalan.

		Music which was created in this way before the rise of mass communications and mass media is now termed "traditional music," i.e., the traditional music of particular ethnic groups learned by ear, that is, as part of an oral tradition, and played on acoustic instruments or sung with unaccompanied voice.
		Music in the standard major and minor scales evidently penetrated to the nearby rural areas, where it was converted to folk idiom, but nevertheless succeeded in displacing the old pentatonic music.
		Sometimes, however, the exponents of amplified music were bands such as Fairport Convention, Pentangle and Steeleye Span who saw the electrification of traditional musical forms as a means whereby to reach a far wider audience, and their efforts have been largely recognised for what they were by even some of the most die-hard of purists.

	Folk_music
		Both terms are used semi-interchangeably amongst the general population; however, some musical communities that actively play living folkloric musics (see Irish traditional music for a specific example), have adopted the term traditional music as a means of distinguishing their music from the popular music called "folk music," especially the post-1960s "singer-songwriter" genre.
		Yet in nations or regions where folk music is a badge of cultural or national identity, the loss of folk music can be slowed; this is held to be true, for instance in the case of Hungary, Ireland, Brittany, and Galicia, Greece and Crete all of which retain their traditional music to some degree.
		Through dissemination on commercial recordings, this vein of music became popular in the United States during the 1950s, through singers like the Weavers (Seeger's group), Burl Ives, Harry Belafonte and the Kingston Trio, who tried to reproduce and honor the work that had been collected in preceding decades.

		Both the violin and Romani's instrument, the harp, were at one time common in Galician music, but, as he puts it "their traditional use was forgotten." Violins, he says, died out in Galicia quite recently, and are in photographs of traditional Galician groups from the early part of the century.
