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).

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.
