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:
“Have you ever been up in your plane at night, alone, somewhere, 20,000 feet above the ocean?... Did you ever hear music up there?... It’s the music a man’s spirit sings to his heart, when the earth’s far away and there isn’t any more fear. It’s the high, fine, beautiful sound of an earth-bound creature who grew wings and flew up high and looked straight into the face of the future. And caught, just for an instant, the unbelievable vision of a free man in a free world.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
“America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
