 |
|
I need to translate a text (for my CD) to Spanish and have a problem there: Apparently the Spanish name for a bagpipe bag is the same as for bellows (fuelle). So, how do you translate "bellows blown bagpipe" to Spanish? (as opposed to mouth blown, that is)

Olle,
I asked a friend of mine from Cuba what he thought of this. He first recommended 'fuelle', like you had. When I explained the situation to him he said that 'bomba' (pump, with the corresponding verb 'bombear') would likely be the word you are looking for.

Thanks, but I'm sure I'm not the first one to write about bellows blown bagpipes in Spanish, so there should be an established translation for this.

I asked professional Spanish bagpiper Anxo Lorenzo who replied "Gaita de barquín".
By the way, there is a recent and very nice video of Anxo at MySpace (here). I don't know about you, but I've never heard a gaita overblown a full sixth before ...

Olle, I just got a reply from another Spanish piper I asked on another forum. He says the same name, and adds that there is a bellows-blown pipe type existing in Galicia under that name. He also says it is just possible to call it a "gaita de soplo mecanico", (with an apostrophy over th "a"). Also in different areas of Spain the actual bag has some different names: "odre", "saco", and "boto" are the names he gives, the idea being that you can't confuse the bag with the bellows.
Just my two cents' worth. |

If you want to hear some crazy stuff I never thought could be squeezed out of a bagpipe, check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q53Ajkll_kw |
