Weekend-engagement week 18: Music and more music

Yesterday I decided to join the commitment of the weekend proposed by @galenkp where he invited us to share a piece of music that we like or that moves us.
I decided to talk a little about the bagpipes. Oh! What a surprise to see the comments. There was a lot of confusion regarding the type of music I mentioned (the bagpipes).
For many people, to speak of the bagpipe is to speak of the wind instrument, which is national to Scotland.

But to speak of bagpipes in my country (Venezuela) is to speak of a musical genre, which is played in mixed groups and its themes range from love songs to humorous themes.
This traditional folk song of our people is heard in the month of December, is that for us there is no Christmas without bagpipes!
Traditionally, instruments such as the cuatro, furruco, tambora and charrasca were used; but now others such as congas, keyboard and electric bass are incorporated.
Here is a bit of our bagpipes, the Venezuelan bagpipes.

Thanks for sharing this information on the bagpipes. I had no idea they was enjoyed in your country.
