"Tierra de Nadie" is an amazing album consisting of ancient Celtic music that at one time flowed through the small but scenic country that is Asturias, in northern Spain. The invigorating sound of the Gaita (bag pipes) throughout, is very stimulating to the senses. Several of the tracks (eg. Añada) contain Celic hyms that transfoms you back to a time when the Celts ruled nothern Spain. Other tracks like "Busindre Reel" are very energetic while others such as "Barganaz" are soft and soothing in nature. I highly recomend this CD to anyone who is looking for a fresh sound to the ancient rhythms of Asturias.
Hevia's Tierra de Nadie is one of the best CD performed in the last years. It is not new age nor one of those music labels that arise and dead thousand of times a week. Hevia's music is in the core of an ancient celtic culture:Asturias. A small country in the north of Spain, Asturias is an old land of green valleys, all day raining and proud man whose antique songs are here recovered using a new instrument: the electric pipe, created by the own autor. "Tierra de Nadie" is the last voice of a past that is vanishing. Perhaps it is your last oportunity.
I heard one of the songs on this album, El Gazzotin, on Sky FM, and tried and liked the rest of it. It's worth the money, particularly if you like the idea of bagpipes and New Age. Hevia uses Basque pipes (3 pipes, not the Scottish 4 pipe warpipes), and produces some very sweet, pleasant music with them.
