Original work and living
traditional repertoire.
Original composition and recorded Asturian tradition. Available on streaming; direct sales coming soon.
Two formats,
one gaita.
Each format answers a different setting. Tell me yours and I'll prepare the show to fit.
Traditional
Gaita-and-drum duo, bandina or folk ensemble. The Asturian gaita on home ground: fiestas, romerías, festivals and celebrations.
Concert-talk
Gaita and piano, educational concerts and gaita with a pop-rock band for festivals. And the talk: innovation rooted in tradition.
Plain talk, no fuss.
I write about the gaita, Asturian traditional music and the Atlantic arc for beginners and for those who already play. Knowledge meant to be shared, not hoarded.

TutorialHow to tune the roncón of the Asturian gaita, step by step
How to tune the roncón of the Asturian gaita step by step: how to slide its pieces to adjust the octave against the punteru, when the reed is the culprit and not the tube, and what to do before every session.
Moving forward
from tradition.
I started out playing the old tunes and I never stopped. Today I compose, record and teach from Asturies, and I take the gaita where it isn't expected: from ceremonial repertoire to the production studio.
I look to the whole Atlantic family of the gaita —Galicia, Brittany, Ireland, Scotland, Cape Breton— but I start from here. It's not world music or folk fusion: it's roots Asturian gaita in dialogue with the Atlantic arc.
