	Extremadura travel guide and accommodation
		Extremadura is an immensely rich natural paradise; a special region of unspoilt natural heritage, even today in the 21st century when such places are hard to find in Europe.
		Extremadura’s cultural heritage is the legacy of the various civilisations which have lived in the Iberian peninsula, and is still in evidence today; the gastronomy, festivals and local traditions have survived down the centuries and still form part of everyday life.
		Extremadura is ideal for bird watching, with close up views of some of the biggest populations of vultures, fl storks, imperial eagles and great bustards in the world, not to mention the arrival of thousands of cranes from Scandinavia every winter.

	About Extremadura - history, culture and information
		Extremadura is far removed from Spain’s crowded costas – both in terms of kilometres and character.
		Extremadura’s many other historic treasures include the walled city of Caceres, founded by the Romans in 34 BC, and nearby Trujillo with its Moorish castle, glorious central square and monument to its famous son Francisco Pizarro, who conquered Peru.
		One of the most extraordinary sights in the whole of Spain is that of the region’s large population of storks which build their huge nests on top of everything from palaces and telegraph poles to church spires and convent roofs.

	World Music Spain - Spanish Music
		In his inimitable and casual way, Lomax has assembled a group of songs and dances that exalt the performers without ever losing sight of the elegant simplicity of their music.
		The music of Galicians, Castillians, Basques, Andalusians, and many smaller regional cultures is here still in a somewhat pure state (as pure as anything in Europe can claim to be), with radical differences in instrumentation and delivery still evident.
		At the end of the century, when almost all anyone knows of Spain's music is modern Western pop and flamenco fusion, here is a look at where it all came from.

	Jesus Amigo - Spanish Conductor
		Born in Bilbao (Spain), he started studying music at the age of seven under the direction of his father, who at that time was the First Violinist of that city´s Symphony Orchestra.
		In 2000 he was nominated Leading Director of the Extremadura Symphony Orchestra; in only five years they have swept the public and critics off their feet with their high-quality performances as well as their ambitious and attractive program.
		Besides this, maestro Amigo is deeply involved in musical creation, an activity that has taken him to premiere and commission numerous works, and invest in the least played Twentieth Century repertoire, as is the case of his last Cd, nominated for a Juno Award, with works by portuguese composers Freitas Branco and Joly Braga Santos.

	Boricua music
		The traditional music of the jíbaro, or Puerto Rican subsistence farmer, evolved from the music of the soldiers, farmers, artisans and enslaved Africans that settled on the island at the dawn of the seventeenth century.
		These ancient colonists hailed from the southern region of Spain, the provinces of Andalucía and Extremadura; from the Canary Islands; and from West Africa.
		The music was produced by an ensemble consisting of a cuatro, a scratch gourd called a guiro, and a guitar or another native instrument such as a diminutive tiple or a large bordonúa, instruments that have all but disappeared from the scene.

	Spanish Court Recognizes CC-Music - Creative Commons
		Unfortunately, as we explain on our site, because most collecting societies, especially in Europe (but not in the US), take an assignment of rights from the artist, artists who are members of these collecting societies are not free to CC-license their works.
		On February 17th, 2006, the Lower Court number six of Badajoz, a city in Extremadura, Spain, rejected the collecting society’s claims because the owner of the bar proved that the music he was using was not managed by the society.
		The music performed in the bar was licensed under CC licenses that allows that public display since the authors have already granted those rights.
