Muiñeira

Muiñeira is traditional dance and genre musical genre typical to Galego which is known as Galacia. It is distinguished mainly by the tempo of 6/8, played expressive and lively, although some variants are performed in other time signatures. There are also variant types of muiñeira which remain in the tempo of 6/8 but which displace the accent in different ways.[citation needed] Muiñeira is associated with traditional choreographic schemes and the associated instrumentation is a form of bagpipe known as a gaita. It is subject to highly varied interpretation in differering local traditions. According to "Galicia-The Spanish Cousins", an article on Roots World,[1] muiñeira is the Galician "equivalent" of a jig, which is consistent with the time signature of 6/8 [2]

Instrumentation

Galician bagpipes come in three main varieties, though there are exceptions and unique instruments. These include the tumbal (B-flat), grileira (D) and redonda (C). Asturian bagpipes are usually played along with a tambor (snare drum). Asturian bagpipes usually have only one drone and follow a different fingering pattern.

Tunes using the gaita are usually songs, with the voice either accompanying the instrumentation or taking turns with it
