Carlos Núñez

WORLD MUSIC INSTITUTE
Few artists pack as much energy, virtuosity and charisma into their performances as multi-instrumentalist and WMI Honorary Board member Carlos Núñez. Steeped in the rich Celtic traditions of Galicia on the northwest coast of Spain where he was born and still resides, he is renowned as the world’s leading gaita player, mastering the bagpipes of this maritime region. The Los Angeles Times says, “If it’s possible to become a pop star playing traditional music on bagpipes and recorder, Núñez could be the man.” His latest album, Celtic Sea, pays tribute to the Celtic roots of Brittany, France, which is considered to be the heart of all Atlantic Celts. Núñez and his band return to Kaufman Music Center following a sold-out performance in 2017. Part of the Origins series.
