"I am A Highland Bagpiper of 6 years. I learn something new every day. About two years ago while browsing in tower records, I saw a CD with an unusual name for a Piper. I asked one of my fellow Bandsmen who this "Carlos Nunez" was. He told me that Carlos plays the Galician Bagpipes and hails from the Celtic region of Spain. I immediately went out and bought the CD, and as most eager to learn about Galicia and it's Celtic Music and culture. I also purchased "Santiago" by the Chietains which also features Carlos on it. "Brotherhood of Stars", "Santiago" and now Os Amores Libres" have enriched my understanding of the Celtic music and culture that I had until recently believed was only limited to Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Brittany. "Os Amores Libres" combines flamenco, Gypsy, Galician, and the traditional sounds of Ireland, and Scotland as well. I truly enjoyed every track on this compilation and will treasure it for years to come. Carlos Nunez is a great Piper and a very gifted musician as well. When people ask me who my favorite Piper is and where he is from, they are surprised to find out his name is Carlos Nunez and he lives in Spain. I enjoy how Carlos collaborates with other Spanish, Irish, American, and Latin American Musicians. It is this way that Carlos demonstrates how Galician Music has influenced more traditional Latin American forms. Hope to see Carlos Nunez collaborate with the likes of maybe Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony, Gloria Estefan, Calos Santana ect. Little do they know that there music too has it's roots in the "Undiscovered Celtic Nation"."

"As a fellow Galician piper myself I must admit that Carlos is one of the best. I met him in person once not knowing who he was at the time. I feel that he does a lot of exploration contrary to the other reviews. If people were familiar with Galician music they would see he does do different things. I am glad he is making it in the world and hopefully he will do great. His third album not listed here is great too."
