Busketeer

I don't know, why I did not recognize these two musicians before. You gotta watch them play, just Bouzouki (or is it a Mandola?) and Accordion.

Camín de Cantares-Ambás-3ºParte

Another great video from Spanish musicians called Tuenda. The tune is called Danza "Al Ilau del molin". I don't know much about them, but they're really good.

I just read about that tragic car crash in which two members of Asturian band Felpeyu have been killed. The band were involved in an accident on the way to a concert. The rest of the band survived with only minor injuries, but bouzouki player Ígor Medio and guitarist, bassist and vocalist Carlos Redondo were tragically killed.

I just discovered this fantastic musicians. It's a sad day for celtic music.

Here's a fantastic video of a workshop in Polonia: “Workshop” de Felpeyu en Polonia. (2004) featuring Igor Medio -vocalist and bouzouki and Carlos Redondo - vocalist and a guitar player and many more musicians.

N'Alcordanza: Gatos del Fornu - Tierra

Los Gatos del Fornu live in the Memorial concert for Igor Medio and Carlos Redondo from Asturian band Felpeyu. There are so many bands in northern Spain playing celtic music. Me, I don't like that bagpipe thing so much, but when there are vocals I love this music.
