Galician folk dance: Xota 

Thank you very much😄

Bro Galicia be like Ohio in Spain 💀

Spain or Spanish are all inside the peninsula...

you mean a gorgeous place devastated by colonial subjugation and resource extraction? i would agree

Es un maneo, un tipo de jota.

Gracias por la información.Saludos desde ARGENTINA

Que yo sepa esto es una muiñeira, de muchas que hay. Por si hay interés recomiendo la de Sarandona y la de Chantada, que también están colgadas en youtube

@@antonxuiz Ola Antón. Volvín escoitar a música e volveume parecer unha xota, así que lle preguntei a unha que sabe de música para resolver a dúbida. Confirmoume que era unha xota e, concretamente, un maneo.

@ bo día, eu non teño nin zorra de música así que será tal. Grazallas pola resposta

Suelto

@@antonxuiz Para quen non entende de música, e eu inclúome, hai uns trucos para recoñecer os ritmos que consisten en reparar no ritmo da pandeireta. Se soa coma se a pandeireta dixese "Ana come pan; de Verín son" é xota; se soa coma se dixese "plátano, plátano, plátano" é muiñeira. Obviamente, ambos os ritmos teñen variantes, pero isto serve como guía. Neste caso, a xota vai co ritmo "De Verín son, de Verín son, de Verín son...". Logo hai movementos de pés que tamén son inconfundibles da xota; por exemplo, o que fan cando se desprazan en táboas ó tempo que baten as palmas.

I can tell you for sure it's a genuine dance because this ensemble is very good and it does its own researches about folklore. It isn't invented for tourist (and I am pretty sure that the few tourists we have are not interested in). The ensembles here usually perform the traditional dances with the typical XVIII-XIX century costumes, but this ensemble chose this early XX century costumes for doing something "different" in this performance. Galician people still danced these traditional dances during the first decades in XX century, so there isn't any anachronism.

Your comment is astoundingly ignorant, Powder! The 19th and early 20th centuries were an extremely rich time for traditional dance and music. Many older dances took their ultimate form in those years, and Spanish folklore groups did important work even later. Valencian men also sometimes perform in costumes from before WWI. It's the local people who appreciate this cultural richness, not tourists.

also they used to use clam shells for Precation

It's traditional, plus not tribal.
