[edit] Muñeira
In my opinion the text should mention the Galician typical dance (also popular in Asturias): "muñeira". This type of dance it is by far (at least in Spain) more popular than some other dances that are mentioned in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.221.21.168 (talk) 06:09, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] GA Re-Review and In-line citations
Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

[edit] On Alejandro's comment
Please, note that the phrase about Latin-derived languages refers only to this Musical sub-region (Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria). No one doubts, there are many Celtic toponims in Galicia and all along the Iberian peninsula from Andalusia and Algarve to Catalonia and Aragon, (for instance "Segovia" has a Celtic origin). However, it is a pity the one for LUGO comes from the Latin "Lucus" and the town was born as a Roman military settlement.

Sorry. Let me remind you that the equation bagpipes = Celtic origin is nonsense in musicological terms. Spreading of European dances from the 18th century explain the similarities between so distant regions as Ireland, Sweden, Bohemia and Galicia (more than 1500 years after all Celtic language had vanished).

- About Lugo (Galicia) it indeed comes from Latin, but it was named after a Celtic deity. The equation bagpipe=Celtic is not true, but what is true is the fact that melody (in musical sense) from the so-called Celtic zones of Europe (including Galicia and Asturias) shares a common base well defined much earlier than the XVIIth century. If you are skeptical, please study musicology after speaking non sense.--Xareu bs 15:39, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Caveat
to claim that the languages of spain are all of latin origin is a factual error. for example basque, and all its variations, is so old that no one knows where it came from. also in galicia there are many places with celtic names; as an example of these is the province of lugo. lug was a celtic god. the romans only added the vowel "o" to lug and hence the name. also to infer that there was no celtic presence in galicia is also wrong. the celtic tribes were first on european continent soil and then they sailed to the british isles; proof of this are all the prehistorical ceremonial spanish tombs found in ireland. there is even an old irish tradition that says that ireland was founded by a galician prince. also what about the castros. these fortifications appear all throughout the celtic world and they are also present in galicia;so to the phoenician, roman, gothic, moorish influences in the iberian peninsula the celtic one must be added.if you want proof you could go to the irish musical group the chieftains cd called "santiago". it is on label rca victor 09026 68602-2, on it they cite the book of conquests lebor gabala which says ireland was founded by the son of galician king breogan. also i quote"archaelogists date sea connections between ireland and galicia as far back as the bronze age" from the same cd booklet. regarding the castros fortifications and the name lugo you can do your own internet search,( but you should go as a tourist to gaelicia and see for yourself that they are still there) type in the words galicia, spain because there is another galicia in poland. regarding the basque language, one of the claims of the proponents of basque independence is that the basque land has never been conquered by anyone: not the romans, the goths, nor the muslims. this is known by all of the students of the history of spain of which i am one because my two maternal grandparents were spaniards and i was born in cuba, which is proud of its spanish heritage.74.225.19.234 23:16, 19 January 2007 (UTC) alejandro, el gallego.
[edit] Good article review
This article is currently under Good Article Review. Teemu08 07:23, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I think that some rumba groups shuld be added because this style has been very important in the 70's and 80's. Some of them: Los Chunguitos, Los Chichos, Los Calis. These groups' letters have a strong social (but not polithical) lumpen-related content. Also it should be noted that spanish rumba does not belong exclusively to Catalonia; I mean: for instance Los chunguitos were from Madrid.
