I have reached the pickling level where I start posting Celtic music from Spain.

Galicia in general, Berrogüetto in particular...

Don't give up before hearing the lead singer, Guadi Galego, playing the Gaitas (Spanish bagpipes)

Berrogüetto.- O preciso movemento

Closest translation is: "The right move"
