		The traditional music of Galicia and Asturias has some similarities with the neighbouring areas of Cantabria, León, Castile and northern Portugal.

	Music of Spain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Music notation developed in Spain as early as the eighth century (the so-called Visigothic neumes) to notate the chant and other sacred music of the Christian church, but this obscure notation has not yet been deciphered by scholars, and exists only in small fragments.
		The music of the Christian church in Spain was known as the music of the Mozarabic Rite, and developed in isolation, not subject to the enforced codification of Gregorian chant under the guidance of Rome around the time of Charlemagne.
		Baroque music in Spain, when it arrived, was a pale imitation of Italian models; musical creativity mainly moved into areas of folk and popular music until the nationalist revival of the late Romantic era.

	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 it is characterized by an extensive use of bagpipes.
		Certainly, Galicia is nowadays a strong player on the international Celtic folk scene; and as a result, elements of the pre-industrial Galician tradition have become integrated into the modern Celtic folk repertoire and style.
		The 2/4 (or more rarely 3/4) alborada is also found in Galicia and Asturias; the term signifies a song at or to the sunrise, and is played at the beginning of a day's festivities.

	Encyclopedia: Vocal music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Vocal music is music performed by one or more singers, with or without instrumental accompaniment, in which singing provides the main focus of the piece.
		The interest in vocal music is typically carried by the use of lyrics, although there are some notable examples of vocal music that are performed (in part or completely) using non-linguistic syllables or noises, either in imitation of other sounds or in the abstract.
		Vocal music is probably the oldest form of music, since it does not require any other instruments other than the human voice.
