Bio / presentation
The Association of Galician Bagpipers (AGG) is a fundamental entity for the preservation, study, and dissemination of the bagpipes and traditional music of Galicia. Founded with the aim of dignifying this emblematic instrument and its repertoire, the AGG brings together musicians, researchers, artisans, and enthusiasts, promoting the knowledge and practice of an art that is a pillar of Galicia's intangible cultural heritage. It organizes training courses, workshops, concerts, and gatherings, fostering the intergenerational transmission of bagpipe playing and construction techniques, as well as the recovery of ancestral melodies. Its work is crucial for keeping Galicia's sound identity alive, ensuring that new generations connect with their musical roots and that the bagpipes continue to be a vibrant symbol of their culture.
