Parallel but different. • Spain has many regional tradi,ons of pipe and tabor playing and
also of bagpipe playing. For the pipe and tabor Aragon has chiflo, there is the pito in Cas,le, and the txistu in Basque country.
• Spain and neighbouring countries abound in regional bagpipe tradi,ons. Gallica is synonymous with the Gaita, Gascony has the Bodega and in Catalonia there are bagpipes (sac de gemecs) a bagpipe played with the a pipe and tabor.
• There are similari,es between Mallorca and other Mediteranean island tradi,ons. The Maltese Zaq is a bagpipe played with a fric,on drum and tamborine (tambor). Like the Xeremiers the most of the animal’s skin is used to make the bag.
• The blowpipe is ,ed into one of the forelegs and the music is en,rely seasonal – Christmas, Carnival and the agricultural fes,val of St Peter and St Paul and the end of harvest are important dates.

Colla de Xeremiers
![Page 11: Mediterranean traditions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042515/540867588d7f724f088b46f6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Xeremies • The Xeremies bagpipe has a bag made of very thick goat skin covered with
cloth, with a chanter to play the melody and two or three pipes for drones and pedal notes. The bag is inflated through a mouthpiece called bufador (blower), joined to the bag by the nou del bufador (blower’s walnut). The chanter is semi-‐conical and usually tuned in (C#), while the drones are tuned at C# in the same octave, C# two octaves below, and G# in the octave below the chanter. Some xeremies are tuned in C. A xeremies player is known as a xeremier.
• Mallorcan xeremies should not be confused with Ibiza’s xeremia simple (single flute or flageolet) nor with the xeremia bessona (double-‐barred flute, also known as reclam de xeremies). Tradi,onally the instrument was made out of Granadi wood from Cuba. With the Castro/Cuban revolu,on in 1962 this wood became difficult to get hold of and other woods have been tried. Many of the xeremiers played by the old genera,on had dummy drums and only one actually worked. By contrast the younger players wanted all three to func,on and took case to get the all tuned before playing.
