VALENCIA MUSIC - FOLK
The music of Valencia wouldn't be complete without the popular dances and human towers of the Muixeranga which are found throughout Catalunya and Valencia.
Folk has its roots in soul and the music of Valencia reminds me a lot of the Greek 'Rembetika' which has evolved into the popular sound of Greece.
The traditional regional dances of 'La jota' and the 'Fandango' are very popular and there are many recordings of this music.
A collection of regional Spanish music on CD... 'The Spanish Recordings: Aràgon and València' by Roots - The Lomax Recordings. These historic recordings were made by Alan Lomax whilst traveling through Spanish villages in 1952.
