Carlos Núñez

This musician is like the Dumbledore of Celtic bagpipes. He was born in Vigo, Spain, and fell in love with the Galician bagpipe as a child. But what makes Carlos so special? Well, besides playing the bagpipe as if casting a spell, he blends Celtic, flamenco and sounds from all over the world like a mad musical alchemist.

He has collaborated with the likes of The Chieftains, Sinead O’Connor and even the Rolling Stones. Yes, you heard right, the Stones! Turns out the bagpipe has more rock and roll in it than we thought.

And don’t think Carlos just stays on stage. Besides travelling the world playing his magic bagpipe, he has also dedicated himself to rescuing and reinventing traditional Galician melodies. He’s like the Sherlock Holmes of Celtic music, except instead of solving crimes, he uncovers musical treasures.

So if you ever wonder what could be cooler than a Galician bagpipe, the answer is simple: a Galician bagpipe in the hands of Carlos Núñez!

Núñez has turned a traditional instrument into a musical time machine, taking us on a journey everywhere.
