Galician jazz is a vibrant and dynamic genre that fuses traditional Galician music with the improvisational elements of jazz. Characterized by its incorporation of native instruments such as the gaita (Galician bagpipe) and a strong rhythmic foundation inspired by regional folk dances, Galician jazz stands out for its unique blend of the old and the new. Artists like Abe Rábade and Cristina Pato bring a rich tapestry of Celtic influences, combining them with complex harmonies and innovative arrangements. This genre thrives on spontaneity and collaboration, often showcasing virtuosic performances and intricate compositions that highlight both individual talent and collective synergy, creating a sound that's both rooted in tradition and boldly contemporary.
