A new project on the Asturian fiddle
Celia Nieto and Marta Fernández Vilar coordinate the recordings of a book-disc linked to the “Xornaes del Vigulín”
Yesterday morning, the recordings of what will be a book-CD linked to the “Xornaes del Vigulín” (L’Infiestu) started at Supersonic Studio. This initiative, held by CULTURALITY, coordinated by the University of Oviedo, has seen “Xornaes del Vigulín” as an example of good practices of Cultural Heritage curatorship in the rural world.
Celia Nieto and Marta Fernández Vilar are coordinating the musical part of this book-CD, with the participation of various fiddlers of the Asturian folk scene, students and teachers of the “Xornaes”. The book will also include a compendium of articles studying different aspects of the violin within the Asturian musical tradition, as well as the scores of the different recordings. The book is expected to be published in September and will be available open access.
