Amazon.com Though the cornerstone of Uilleann piping may be found in the British Isles' colorful Celtic culture, the commonly termed bagpipes have ventured far and wide, making themselves quite comfortable not only in traditional and contemporized Celtic musics, Scottish weddings, and wakes, but in indie-rock, inspirational, world, and New Age styles. An example of the latter is that of José Angel Hevia Velasco and his release Tierra de Nadie. As a young boy coming of age in Spain, Hevia forsook competitive cycling for piping, studying the Asturian bagpipe with a master. Having played often and well since his boyhood studies, Hevia here takes up the electronic bagpipes as well as the low whistle, forging a highly polished and reflective blend with his band, which includes bouzouki, bodhran, violin, electric guitar, and electronic programming. Not for purists, Hevia's beat-driven concoction will prove tasty to adventurous dance, New Age, and international music enthusiasts. --Paige La Grone Similar CDs

CD ReviewsNo-man's Land: A timeless and precious work of music Manny Hernandez | Bay Area, CA | 10/26/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Jose Angel Hevia, a native of Asturias (Spain), managed to mix in this album the spirit that Afro Celt Sound System (now Afrocelts) carries in their albums, with a New Age twist. Conveying the local musical traditions of his region, at the center of all songs lies his multitone electronic (Asturian) bagpipe, surrounded by musical instruments from other latitudes: Scottish bagpipes, Arab lutes, Celtic Bodhrans and more contemporary tambourines, guitars, bass guitars, pianos, programmed loops, shakers and drums. All of them are combined in a seamless way that makes you feel as if for centuries they belonged together. In "Tierra de Nadie" (No-man's Land), they contribute (as Hevia himself says) to enrich "the cultural diversity of Mankind..." If you enjoy this album, make sure to also get yourself a copy of the soundtrack to "The Sea Inside", by Alejandro Amenabar. Though not focused on Asturian traditional music, it has some beautiful songs inspired by the people and landscapes of neighboring Galicia." Great Bagpipe from Spain Oswald Placeres | Netherlands | 05/18/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Do not waste your time checking out reviews about this CD. Buy it! This is the most beautiful music that I have ever heard in my life!" Moved to Tears Steven T. Binninger | Santa Rosa,CA USA | 01/28/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "My wife Debbie and I took our annual trip to Disney World in Dec. 06. On
the day we spent at Epcot Center, we made it a point to see two shows. After we left the Candlelight Processional I decided to stake out seats for the Illuminations show (about three hours ahead of time). While I was sitting in the seats we'd agreed on the technicians were testing the equipment for the show,including playing the music that counted down the final half hour leading up to the show.(I heard this set of music twice) Being a drummer and percussionist I have an affection for music that is upbeat and jazzy,and not overpowering, but it's rare that a song moves me to tears and one song did just that...twice. That song was Busindre Reel. After Illuminations ended we were in a gift shop at Epcot and I asked a clerk if they had any CDs of the preshow music and he said it wasn't available but he told me how to find it on the internet. An eventual google search led me to the Hevia CD. Tierra Del Nadie is one of the few CDs I can listen to when I'm completely stressed out and be relaxed by the time it's over. I've also added Busindre Reel and Gaviotes(Hevia's other song in the Illuminations preshow set) to my practice tracks. As a drummer and percussionist I've listened to or played music from all over the world and I've been a Yanni fan for several years. All I can say is Yanni better watch his back 'cause Hevia can give him some 'reel' serious competition! I've been to Disneyland and Disney World enough times to know there are two things don't skimp on:music and fireworks. For Hevia to have one song in a Disney music lineup is a major accomplishment and having TWO is almost unheard of. I hope Hevia realizes the significance of that accomplishment and I look foreward to his next CD. " |
