How can we not sing if we have a throat? How can we not make music if we can use our hands and feet? We sing of the rain, the fire, the harvest, birth, death, love, work...

The origin of music is uncertain, but as old as we are; we need music and it is present in the essence of our communities.

November once again dresses up in folk music with this third edition of " Music of Proximity ." It's a tribute to these roots musics, their musicians, and the informants, those elderly people who, like human libraries, store, preserve, and transmit the sounds of yesterday so they can be heard today and be possible tomorrow. Thank you all.

Let the musicians come and let the music play!

• When the bellows played

Concert by Raúl de Dios (accordionist)

When the Bellows Sounded offers a journey through the traditional music that for generations accompanied the daily and festive life of towns and cities, and celebrates the role of the accordion in popular culture. Through a repertoire representative of Salamanca, Castilla y León , and other Spanish regions, the accordion becomes the guiding thread of a voyage through the melodies, rhythms, and dances that have formed part of the collective memory of several generations.
The program includes different genres of popular tradition, from charradas, jotas and charros to waltzes, pasodobles and other dances that enlivened squares, pilgrimages, patron saint festivals and social gatherings.
Each piece showcases the richness and diversity of a musical heritage transmitted orally and kept alive thanks to musicians, dancers and communities throughout the territory.
