philosopher bagpiper

terreiro do gaiteiro clips

we were at the regular bagpiper meetings in lisbon’s downtown area (terreiro do gaiteiro). free entry, cheap booze, and anyone can get up and play anything, anytime, with anyone else. we did some videos, and i got to play some simple tunes with other bagpipers and drummers. it was a privilege to play with some of the people there. so this time here’s just a collection of clips for a change.

on one of them you can see some old dance called “repasseado”. after a while (and some drinks) a lot of people started spontaneously dancing these old dances.
