Music By Region
Spain's regions have their own distinctive musical traditions. There is also a movement of singer-songwriters with politically active lyrics, paralleling similar developments across Latin America and Portugal. As an example of open-mindedness and use of the available sources, singer and composer Eliseo Parra (b 1949) can afford to record music from the Basque country and from Castile.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or region:
“We often feel sad in the presence of music without words; and often more than that in the presence of music without music.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Then, that no region of the universe
Should remain void of life, the floor of heaven
Was peopled with the stars and godlike forms,
The seas became the abode of glittering fish.
Earth took the beasts and mobile air the birds.
A holier animal was wanting.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
