| La Musgana |
Latin Music
Take the traditional music of Spain - dance tunes, love songs, music for rituals such as weddings and village celebrations, performed on traditional instruments - gaita charra y tamboril (pipe and tabor), zanfona (hurdy gurdy), bagpipes and a plethora of percussive instruments; then add the contemporary sound of bass guitar and clarinet, and you have La Musgana.
Their concerts are always a lesson in the rootsof Iberian history as well as a joyous flirtation with bits of funk and rock. "[they] mix it up with tense numbers full of potent, mystery and gravitas that sound suffused with grand historical intrugues. Maybe this is what Jimi Hendrix envisioned when he sang about "Spanish Castle Magic." -- Los Angeles Times
