At once Prince of Galicia and King of the Celts, virtuoso flautist and prodigious piper, nicknamed “the Jimi Hendrix of the gaïta”, Carlos Núñez rehabilitates the rich musical identity of his country: flamenco, ancient Galician song and Andalusian music from the Maghreb all share a common root. A true musical ambassador and pioneering alchemist, he is taking over from Intercelticism. Mexico, Cuba, Argentina and the Basque Country are all involved in the destiny of Celtic history.

Based on his experiences, notably with the Chieftains, Alan Stivell, Dan Ar Braz and the Celtic Heritage, Carlos has toured the world with Americans Jackson Browne and Ry Cooder, Brazilian Milton Nascimento, Argentine Gustavo Santaolalla, Japanese Ryuichi Sakamoto, early music greats such as Jordi Savall, opera greats such as Bryn Terfel and Julio Iglesias.

Carlos is currently in contact with emerging urban music artists and new talents in Breton music, including young bagadoù and traditional musicians.

The most Breton of Galicians has sold over a million records worldwide and won awards in several countries. In Spain, he has won the Ondas Prize for best live act and two nominations at the Grammy Latinos.

He has been described as: “the only global bagpipe star” (François-Xavier Gómez, Libération), “the new king of the Celts” (Manuel Rivas, El País), “the Jimi Hendrix of the gaita” (Scott Lewellyn, Billboard) , “golden ringer” (Xabier Rekalde, El Mundo), “artist of remarkable musicality and intelligent talent” (Jan Fairley, Folk Roots), “ringer who plays like Coltrane or Hendrix” (Bob Flynn, The Guardian)…
