[radiotrapanandablog]

La #Bandurria es muy conocida de la gente de campo por su gran tamaño, colores llamativos, pico largo y encorvado, y grito metálico, la Bandurria se extiende desde el Norte de Atacama (Vallenar y Copiapó) hasta Magallanes y Tierra del Fuego.

May profile pic :3

In Aragón we have a folklore festival to celebrate the coming of May. 

Aside from the usual celebrations of spring, here it was common in villages for the young men to go declare to the women, in the night between the 30 of April and the 1st of May, singing a song at the door of her house that she would listen from her balcony. 

Sounds romantic when I write it like this, but of course, because it was a *very old* tradition, it also had a lot of misogynistic implications that luckily we left behind some decades ago XD

Nowadays we usually just play on a stage. A lot of rural towns have a group of rondalla, where we later go around the streets playing traditional music like jota or mazurca. We dress up with baturro outfits (kinda like the one you see in the picture Xd) and go around singing and playing guitar, lute and bandurria

It’s one of those seasons that make me feel good, so I wanted to make a seasonal pfp for it ^^

On 12th August 1990 Roy Williamson, the Scottish folk musician and songwriter, died, he was 54.

It was in 1955 that Williamson met Ronnie Browne at Edinburgh College of Art, with whom he would team up in The Corries. This meeting started a 35 year long partnership.

By 1965, Paddie Bell and Bill Smith left. Under the new name, The Corries, Williamson, a talented multi-instrumentalist, and Browne, the singer, performed at the Jubilee Arms Hotel in Cortachy, Angus.The "Corrie Folk Trio" began in 1962 and consisted of Roy Williamson, Bill Smith and Ron Cockburn. After a few weeks Cockburn left. As they had already accepted an engagement at the Edinburgh Festival, Williamson suggested that Ronnie Browne should be brought in to make up numbers. They also added female Irish singer Paddie Bell to become the Corrie Folk Trio and Paddie Bell.

Williamson was a skilled woodworker. In the summer of 1969 he invented the 'combolins', two complementary instruments which combined several into a single instrument. One combined a mandolin and a guitar (along with four bass strings operated with slides) , the other combined guitar and the 12-string Spanish bandurria, the latter being an instrument Williamson had played since the early days of the Corrie Folk Trio.

Williamson wrote Flower of Scotland, one of the two unofficial Scottish national anthems. He was possibly the first Scottish folk performer to use the bouzouki, in the song's first live performance at Ruthven Barracks for a BBC television programme in 1968.Originally conceived as a way to combine several of the many instruments they carried around on tour - the Corries' long row of chairs behind them on stage bearing instruments is legendary - the combolins in fact became an additional two instruments for the tour van. Most often, Ronnie Browne played the guitar/mandolin instrument with bass strings, and Williamson the other, which also had 13 sympathetic strings designed to resonate like the Indian sitar.The wood for the instruments was obtained from antique hardwood furniture as well as premium grade Tyrolean spruce, and featured Williamson's artistic embellishments in silver and mother of pearl.

From 1987, Williamson's health went into decline and he spent his last years living in Forres, close to where he spent his school years. He died of a brain tumour in 1990.

Vicente Tatay Tomás Bandurria

[henriediosa]

sometimes a family is a sentient piece of puto seko who loves to sing week-long epic poems, her babaylan guardian, and the banana monk who is not allowed to look at her.

here's some calorum ocs inspired by filipino food! more about them under the cut

from left to right:

sarsa teresita is a sauce bottle babaylan warlock/bard. i picked their name bc it sounded like cersei and sansa (it means sauce in tagalog; teresita is a reference to a brand of sauces, and it means summer) they have meatlander, dairy islander, ceresian, and vegetanian ancestry; they are absolutely not a bulbian.

blanca putosecco is a sentient square of puto seko, my favourite cookie. she's a binukot, a hidden princess and keeper of lore. blanca means fair, because she has never been touched by the sun nor the earth. she is half ceresian and half dairy islander.

len lakatan is a fructeran monk, one of a set of decuplets. he's trans, and blanca thought it would be affirming for him if she banned him from looking at her, since all men are. he appreciates the gesture and he takes his job very seriously. he's part of a set of 10 identical siblings, all named lakatan (ran, ren, rin, ron, run; lan, len, lin, lon, lun). he's missing an arm because of a mishap when he was separated from the bunch as an infant. a lakatan is a variety of banana.

len and sarsa are accompanying blanca on a journey. i'm not sure what kind yet. what do you think it could be?

id: a digital drawing of sarsa and blanca sitting on a hammock while len stands guard behind them, facing away. sarsa is playing the bandurria and blanca is happily singing, "noong unang panahon" (written in baybayin in a speech bubble). sarsa is wearing a hat shaped like a bottle cap, a veil, and a traje de mestiza made of fabrics of different patterns. blanca is wearing long fingerless gloves, a crown, a small jewelled veil, a large translucent veil that covers her face, and a terno with rice patterns all over it and a layered skirt. len is wearing sandals and a backless, sleeveless tabard that shows a tattoo of dotted lines across his back and around his arm. his left arm holds a spear with a large tip shaped like a banana leaf; his right arm is amputated a little past the shoulder. he has earrings and bangles.

[littlestpersimmon]

does 100 jobs pablo have any free time? what does he enjoy doing if he ever does?

He plays the Bandurria in his free time! So he used to teach Bianca (Lea's sister) and Lea themself whenever he can. He lives in a small shack with a hammock and a small bed and a cluttered desk that used to be his safe haven, but when he made friends with Lea, he beelines to the monsoon house and sneaks in to be with his friends there hehe

Musical instruments part 1 of 2

This is part 2 of a rewrite/reimagining I'm doing of Hazbin Hotel

Check out part one here

Alastor - Organ. Because of the aforementioned Furby organ. (Also might I say that’s hilarious to me because… cannibal::organ)

Charlie - Piano. Because A it's the perfect mix of percussion and strings and B because in inside of every demon is a rainbow Charlie sits on a piano to start the song for the first part and a part in the middle it serves as the main instrument. 

Lucifer - Fiddle. Kind of obvious. He was playing a gold fiddle in the show. There's that folk tale about the devil bargaining a gold fiddle for a man's soul.

Adam - Electric Guitar. Feels kind of obvious. He plays a guitar. says "Guitar solo! Fuck yeah!" in his song.

Lute - (Electric) Bass guitar. Because they are meant to keep rhythm and if ep 6 of the show was anything to go by Lute is the one who keeps Adam in check. I also want to give her a chorus because she's the only exorcist we get to hear talk (other than Vaggie) so I want to reflect that by kind of "making her the voice of the exorcists.

Angel dust - Synthesizer. I want a real dark techno/electro vibe from all his songs because I feel like that fits the vibes of Poison and Addict. Leaning more towards techno but still like a very rave type music for angel because he should be able to dance like his problems will disappear from how catchy his songs should be.

Vaggie - Acoustic Electric. I want to hint to Vaggie's exorcist connections sooner so pairing her up with Adam and Lutes instruments (Guitar) would help to illude to a connection. If in season 2 we get to see more exorcists I want to pair them up with different types or tempos of guitar because I like the thought that since Adam leads all the exorcists and (most likely) made them then they all take after his signature instrument.

Heaven and the (other) angels - Trumpet. Trumpets are typically seen as royal and regal, which fits with Vivs interpretation of Heaven.

Emily - French Horn. Other than this being my favorite brass instrument (and my third favorite instrument over all), the French Horn (according to google) represents nobility, accomplishment, loneliness, and solitude. Emily is the youngest Seraphim and while she’s very high in their society she’s the one who’s kept in the dark the most. But in the end she’s the one who’s proven right (Pentious makes it to heaven).

Sera - Chorus and Trombone. Both of these are ironic actually. Sera is a character that treats everyone almost like children. She’s the one who decides what is best for Heaven and thus she "speaks for them"; and (according to google) the trombone symbolizes the voice of God. While they kinda flip-flop on whether or not God exists in the Hellaverse (blitz makes references to the son of God, but then Charlie says it the Angels who made earth) Sera is the closest thing we have to the ruler (even if she’s just a figurehead or a temp); so if he does exist she would be the one who would think "oh yes, I'll be the voice for the divine".

Carmilla - Vihuela. I could do Guitar but I want that to be specific for the exorcists. And a Vihuela is the next best thing.

Velvette - Electric string Quartet. She's a queen and I want to respect her as such.

Vox - Korg Electribe. It has a very electronic sound and most people use it as a drum. While Velvette says she's the backbone of the Vees it's clear who runs the show. 

Val - Bandurria. As much as I wanted something a bit more personal to Val I couldn't find anything and this chapter already feels overdue (despite the fact that I haven't actually set a release date for it). I wish we had a more concrete answer on where Val was from so I could pick an instrument that was more personalized for him. Like the Wiki says he's Hispanic but that doesn't tell us where his ancestry is from. In fact the word Hispanic refers to people who come from (or who's ancestors come from) a country that primarily speaks Spanish which could be Spain, Mexico, Peru or Argentina to name a few. (That's all according to google).

This is taking longer than I thought so I'll make a part two for the rest of the characters. Comment down Below what instruments you think would be good for characters like husk, nifty, Pentious, etc.
