Today I came across this wonderful video posted by one of my friends on Facebook. I thought of starting my blog with this treasure!
For those who do not speak Spanish, this is a brief translation of what this video tells... which you can sort of 'discover' for yourselves with the fantastic images it shows...
'The pandero and pandereta have served the community of Leon in various festivities that have been essential in the continuation of its traditions. They have been mainly played by women whose skilful rhythm and singing have sometimes taken over other musical instruments like the flute or 'dulsaina', supporting the various dances performed in these festivities, be it at a wedding, christening, at afternoon breaks or for mere entertainment at home. The women presented in this documentary are the last reminecents of this tradition'
Enjoy!
I am writing a paper about the origins and ancient life of the tambourine and happened to come across this wonderful video while viewing YouTube for inspiration. This video is truly fantastic and so full of rich historic value.
ReplyDeleteCheers to the person who took the time to put this wonderful documentary together!
