A traditional music concert

Last Friday, January 22,  we walked to the Filarmónica theatre to see a live concert of tradtional Asturian music. We met students from other high schools. At the beginning, a presenter was speaking about traditional music in Asturias. Some teachers of the Traditional Music School were seated in chairs. They showed us  instruments such as castanets, rattles, the bass drum, the drum, the tambourine; different types of flutes, accordion, bagpipes, the guitar or the hurdy-gurdy. They explained things about them, for example how they are made. There was a singer, Anabel Santiago who sung some giraldillas, jotas and asturianada. We had a very good time. We think that it was a great school trip and we are looking forward to going to a live concert again.
