tamborileru Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hello, friends! I didn't post a message two months ago. Summer time is a very hard time for my because I have a lot of work, and I have no time for read and post in the forums. But summer time is ending, and you will see here often than last two months. Here, in Spain, summer time is a time of folk music too. I have been playing gaita charra y tamboril (three hole pipe and tabor) in several places. About the concertina, I played her in public first time last 22th Agoust. It was in a big pic-nic in a place called Río Frío, in Villasrubias (Salamanca, Spain). There was several accordions, two "tamborilerus" (including me) and... my concertina! I played two or three themes and they loved it! That was a wonderful day and a wonderful party. Unfortunately, I have no photos, and I have no videos of my "concert". I only have photos of the other players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animaterra Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Congratulations, Tamborileru! That takes courage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Is the music of the gaita charra y tamboril much like the galoubet et tambourin of Provence? I've spent time playing with Provencal musicians and found it very worthwhile. Completely agree with Animatera. Well done. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamborileru Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Yes, it's possible. It seems the same instrument, with another name. GALOUBET in Provence (France) GAITA CHARRA in Salamanca (Spain) GAITA in Extremadura (Spain) CHIFLA or CHIFLU in León (Spain) TXISTU in the Basque Country (Spain) ... This instrument has a lot of names! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 The three hole tabor pipe is also known and played in England, of course, where it was for centuries the traditional instrument for the Morris dance. On the other hand, this is not so much thread drift as supersonic thread self-propulsion. Sorry ... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Unfortunately, I have no photos, and I have no videos of my "concert". I only have photos of the other players. Are you this "tamborileru"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
