Gaita de boto

Gaita de boto aragonesa

The gaita de boto is a type of bagpipe native to the Aragon region of northern Spain.[1]

Its use and construction were nearly extinct by the 1970s, when a revival of folk music began. Today there are various gaita builders, various schools and associations for gaita players, and more than a dozen Aragonese folk music groups which include the instrument in their ensemble. Most importantly, there are now several hundred gaiteros within Aragon.
