Hornpipe native to El Gastor, a region of Andalucia, Spain
The
gaita gastorena
is a type of
hornpipe
native to
El Gastor
, a region of
Andalucia
,
Spain
. It consists of a simple reed, a wooden tube in its upper part, and a resonating bell of horn in its lower part. Such instruments are only found outside El Gastor in
Madrid
and in the
Basque Country
(see:
alboka
).
Traditionally, the gaita gastorena was played from November on. The youth played the hornpipe around the fire for entertainment during the long nights at the close of the year. After the end of the Christmas festivities, the hornpipe would not be played until the following year. Currently, the hornpipe is played for the festivals of
Corpus Christi
and Christmas in El Gastor.
