A Free Galician in Paris: Carlos Núñez and "Un Galicien Libre à Paris"

Carlos Núñez Muñoz, a Spanish/Galician musician who usually goes by the name Carlos Núñez, brings us the random tune for today. A multi-instrumentalist, he plays the gaita, the Galician bagpipe, Galician flute, ocarina, Irish flute, whistle and low whistle. He was born in Vigo, Spain and began to play bagpipes at eight. He met Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains in his late teens and performed with the band, becoming known as the band's 7th member, as well as appearing with them on their album Santiago which focused on Galician music. He continues to tour, play in large and small venues and release recordings. This song, called Un Galicien Libre à Paris, can be found on his 2003 album Galicien en Bretagne, though we heard it first on his 2014 album Inter-Celtic.
