in the words of the maker of my pipes, the legendary philosopher bagpiper of travanca, mogadouro, manuel sampedro himself, "to bring out the joy of the pipes, you need to summon the spirit of the wine, because the joy of bagpiping is also the true joy of living"

Rita B is a Sydney-based Indie Folk Rock artist. She’s raw and honest and makes music to build strength in a conflicting society. Her music is unfiltered, uncorrupted and totally unapologetic. Currently focusing on carving her name beyond Sydney's live music and recording scene, Rita B also cuts a mesmerising presence on stage and her one of a kind voice has to be heard to be believed.

Velha Gaiteira is one of the most charismatic bagpipe projects in Portugal. Founded in 2007 in Beira Baixa, central interior region of Portugal, they merge the traditional drums of that region with the bagpipe from the Northeast of Portugal, as well as other Iberic bagpipes. 

In 2010 they released their debut album that included new versions of traditional music and original compositions that result from the fusion of musical elements of the Portuguese culture with influences of other musical genres.

Velha Gaiteira performed in the major folk/trad events in Portugal and in other countries such as Spain, France, Ireland, Slovenia, Cape Verde, Brazil, Canada and Republic of Buryatia, in the Russian Federation.

In 2020 they changed the lineup and released “Brada”, the first single of their next album.  The trio is focused on making original music with instruments from their roots and to deliver a powerful experience on stage performances.

They come from the North, South, East and West. The winds that make us spin come from our country and others, bringing us the inspiration for the sounds that we create and re-create. They come from tradition but also from modernity.
Cataventos presents as a portuguese identity music project in which many different influences get along through the sensitivity and experience of its musicians: portuguese and other countries traditional music get together with other modern genres through portuguese traditional instruments such as bagpipes, traditional precussions, cavaquinho and campaniça guitar, to which the vocals are added, to create original compositions and re-create songs and music that already exist.
Cataventos. Anywhere the wind blows.
