ABOUT
Velha Gaiteira is one of the most charismatic bagpipe projects in Portugal. Founded in 2007 in Beira Baixa, the central interior region of Portugal, they merge the traditional drums of that region with the bagpipe from the Northeast of Portugal, as well as other Iberian bagpipes.
In 2010, they released their debut album that included new versions of traditional music and original compositions resulting from the fusion of musical elements of Portuguese culture with influences from other musical genres.
Velha Gaiteira has performed at major folk/trad events in Portugal and in other countries such as Spain, France, Ireland, Slovenia, Cape Verde, Brazil, Canada, and the Republic of Buryatia in the Russian Federation.
In 2020, they changed the lineup and released "Brada," the first single from their next album. The trio is focused on making original music with instruments from their roots and delivering a powerful experience in stage performances.
