Three days ago, on 25 July, musician and artisan instrument maker
Antón Varela died. Varela was a legend in the field of Galician music; a
craftsman, interpreter and composer.
He was best known for his bagpipes, an instrument that plays
an important role in Galician traditional music. Varela’s bagpipes are much appreciated for
their personal and unmistakable sound.
The choice of wood and other materials makes it possible to
individualize each bag and adapt it to the characteristics and requirements of
each performer.
Antonio Varela's bagpipes are exhibited in many museums and
his instruments are used by professionals all over the world.
Thanks José Luis
