The 'Jimi Hendrix of the Bagpipe' will be touring North America this summer.

If it’s possible to become a pop star playing traditional music on the bagpipes and recorder, Núñez could be the man. He is handsome and performs with kinetic flair and his playing had the presence and sense of freedom and vitality that are qualities of all exceptional musicians.

—Los Angeles Times

A global force in the international music scene, Carlos Núñez is one of the world’s grandmasters of the bagpipes. The Galician artist has become a foremost traditional music ambassador, embodying the irrepressible spirit of his native music through the gaita.

With the technical prowess of a classical music virtuoso and the charisma of a rock star, Núñez bridges distinct Celtic traditions with passion and care. His latest album, Inter-Celtic, draws influences from regions most influenced by bagpipe music, while exploring how musically connected his crossover genre is to other parts of the world.
