Adoro á miña familia, ademais, amo especialmente a familia do meu pai. A música foi a base da nosa vida gracias a miña familia paterna.
I love my family, what's more, I especially love my Dad's family. Music was the basis of our lives thanks to my father's side of the family.
E aqui vos deixo unhas pinceladas da historia da miña familia e da historia da música en Galiza enormemente rica.
And here you have a wee bit of my family's history and Galiza's Music History which is very very rich.
Galiza sempre foi un pais de moitos e grandes músicos e compositores. Un deles foi o meu avó Ricardo Fernández Carreira. Nunca o coñecín pero sei do seu traballo e da sua vida profesional e personal e evidendentemente estou orgullosa do meu avó e dos seus fillos Ricardo (meu tío) e Manolo (meu pai)
Galiza has always been a country with lots of great musicians and composers. One of them was my Grandfather Ricardo Fernández Carreira. I never met him, but I know his work and his professional and personal live, and of course, I'm very proud of my Grandfather and his sons Ricardo and Manolo (my Dad)
O meu avó fundou, xunto con outros xenios da música, na Pobra do Caramiñal, a Capela Lauda Sion

Depois diso, o meu avó foi o Director da Banda Municipal de Música de Santiago de Compostela, na que anos mais tardes os meus queridos tío e pai tocaron tamén; o meu pai como trompeta e o meu tío como clarinete.
After that, my Grandfather was the conductor of the Municipal Band of Santiago de Compostela, where years later my dear Dad and Uncle also played , my dad the trumpet and my uncle the clarinet.
Ricardo e Manolo Fernández Pereira foron músicos tamén da histórica Orquesta Compostela dende moi noviños... e tamén foron profesores de música...
La Perla del Jazz, Compostela, anos 50-60 |
Then, my Dad played in the first Jazz Orchestra in Galiza, the La Perla del Jazz. He was the trumpet player... a very good trumpet player (people say... I'm not objective at all... of course he was the best!)
Los Galaicos Compostelanos, anos 70 |
E anos mais tarde continuou nos Galaicos Compostelanos.
Years later he played in Los Galaicos Compostelanos

En honor e tributo a eles e a todos os que vos adicades dun xeito ou outro á ese imprescindible arte, deséxovos Feliz dia de Santa Cecilia, Patrona dos Músicos
In honour of and tribute to them and to all of you who are involved in this essential art, I wish you a Happy St. Cecilia Day, Patron Saint of Musicians
