Ariel Ninas plays Galician-Celtic music with the hurdy-gurdy, a unique and rare instrument. His show is based on this repertoire along with his own creations, songs and instrumentals, based on the ancestral Galician tunes, hardly ever heard in the Americas as a soloist and virtuoso of the hurdy-gurdy. He plays music rooted in the Medieval times such as ballads from the 14th century; traditional dancing tunes like the genuine ‘muinheiras’ (similar to the Irish jigs); own compositions of vibrant instrumental music; mellow slow ‘ airs’ grounded on the continuous basic sound of the drone of the hurdy-gurdy; and ‘cantos de cego’: ‘songs of the blind’.
