Spanish Celtic ensemble in concert Sept. 22
   
 
 

Think of Celtic music, and Spain probably isn’t the first country that comes to mind — but listening to the traditional Spanish Celtic music of Llan de Cubel could change that.

The six-member ensemble whose performances are based on the traditional music of Asturies, the Celtic region of northern Spain, will be in concert at 8 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 22, in the Multipurpose Room.

Steve Winick of Dirty Linen Magazine describes their sound as “delicately balanced, but they manage it beautifully — upbeat, bright and bouncy.”

The group gets its distinctive sound from acoustic instruments indigenous to the region, such as fiddle, flute, accordion and especially the Asturian bagpipes.

Llan de Cubel’s primarily instrumental repertoire is punctuated by an occasional song, which includes some traditional lyrics but is made up mostly of contemporary texts set to music with traditional Asturian melodies.

A Center State event, the show is free and open to the public.
