For all you New Englanders out there--
La Musgaña, the excellent Spanish band, will be
playing in the Boston area for the first time
since 1998!
La Musgaña plays mostly traditional music from
Central Spain and features Carlos Beceiro on
hurdy gurdy and cittern, bass and other stringed
instruments and Jaime Muñoz on gaita, clarinet,
flute and other wind instruments. I haven't
heard their current line-up (Quique Almendros,
their pipe and tabor/gaita player had a massive
stroke back in 2004, and has not recovered) but
there are two new members on accordeon and
fiddle.
La Musgaña is one of my all time favorite
groups, and I'm thrilled that Billie Hockett,
the concert producer, is bringing them back
again. She is promoting the concert with a
hurdy gurdy slant, and plans to have several
area gurdy players on hand during the
intermission to answer the inevitable questions
that arise.

Please pass the word around--this should be a really wonderful concert.
