TET: Such Revival. Much Thread. So about time. Wow.

Asturias is Celtic land.

Well that makes sense

It does. Gallo sometimes looks at me like I'm strange, when I get into a traditional music mood.

[Farnhamia]

Asturias is Celtic land.

Well that makes sense

Hence the term Celtiberian. As I recall, though, the Iberians weren't all that happy about those undocumented Celts coming over the Pyrenees.

Nana, you change flags too much.

[Degenerate Heart of HetRio]

Sounds like an in-between of Spanish and Galician (well, duh!).

Sorta, yes.

I thought it would sound more Portuguese-like. Like this, just an amount less.

They pushed the Aquitanians into Iberia too while migrating, creating the Basques.

Oh, well, that makes my goal of knowing lots of languages harder. One of my major goals is acquiring as much information as possible and knowing multiple languages would help, a lot. I thought that I could possibly learn two at once. Oh well.

You can learn Portuguese and Spanish at the same time, I guess.

Though learning Spanish and French at the same time would be more practical, and would make learning Portuguese easy like tasting candy.

What I meant was I thought they were basically the same and because of this similarity would be great to learn so that it would be easier to know multiple languages.

I do hu hu hu.

It does, in some aspects, but do remember that Asturian was influenced by Spanish too. Actually, the Spanish influence has made the language evolve a bit distant from it's Lusophone roots.

Compared to you though, our traditional music is not as colorful even by Central American or Mexican standards

Although we have had much in the way of Latin music from Mexico, most people recognize Rancheras, Corridos, and Duranguenses from Mexico only. If you talk to them about Sones Jarochos or such other types of music that we have they just look at you as if you have said something alien

I don't know what a Son Jarocho is. And what's this misconception that some have that cumbia is solely a Mexican thing? Cumbia is very much a Colombian thing too!

Se te olvido Nortenas.

I know well.

The Portuguese spoken in Trás-os-Montes is Galician without the Spanish influence. And it's REALLY different.

I thought Asturian would be more like an in-between of Mirandese and Spanish like Galician is an in-between of Portuguese and Spanish... But no, it sounds very Spanish-like.

But at least it's still there. Out of Asturias, Leonese didn't have the same luck.

I just saved your current flag.

Oh yea, nortenas

And Son Jarocho is from Veracruz. Is the music that my family has been playing since the times of my grandfather from my mom's side, so in a way we're all musicians just some better than others.

I will give you one example you will know: La Bamba, popularized by Los Lobos, is and has been a Son Jarocho even before then. We were the ones who came up with that song

It's a problem that stems from Francoist times. The language policies of Franco's gov't really messed things up. Unlike Galego and Catalan, Asturian is still fighting for official status. It isn't taught in every school. There's people in Asturias who do not speak it. That's a sad part of the history of my province.

Can you tell what it was? Anyway great for you.

That's a son jarocho? I didn't know. Yes, I think I know now how it may sound. It's just that is not a type of music one associates with Mexico.

Muy a mi deshonra, when I think of Mexican music, I go straight to Mariachi.

Ok so AFTER I risked my life giving a drug addict a ride, I went to Walmart to get pizza rolls. And after dark there are always a bunch of twenty somethings hanging out in the parking lot. I figured they were hooligans smoking the marywanna and drinking the alkeehawl. One if them waved me down and asked if I had blue turn signals, because the glad over them is blue, I said, no but I do have strobe lights. He completely lost his fucking mind and asked if I would show them. So I turned them on and they started screaming and jumping and flipped their shit. They looked like kids who just got told they were going to Disney world. It was fucking wonderful.

I feel a bit genocidal inside when I read stupid people saying they liked that Franco won the Civil War. And I'm not even Spaniard.

Trust me when I say I know exactly how you feel. At a deep and personal level. I wasn't born during Franco's regime but I saw its effects in the people I love.

I wouldn't have the balls to do things like a pro like this.

The link I posted on my post shows how it really goes. It's really fast and you can dance it, but the dance is VERY active and you have to be in a hard floor and strike the floor hard with your heel as to make a loud "thud". We follow the pace of the Jarana so we can strike multiple measures per beat.

Here's another example of it, with someone actually striking:
