Os xéneros musicais tradicionais e populares galegos consta de dúas partes complementarias. Por unha banda, un texto onde quedan clasificados de xeito didáctico os xéneros cantados, instrumentais, bailados e danzados da nosa terra, afondando nas suas caracteristicas, momento da interpretacion, finalidade? E por outra parte, un CD con 31 melodias escollidas dos nosos cancioneiros e de fontes vivas, que recompilan a maior parte dos xeneros musicais que se tratan no texto, incluindo as suas partituras. Unha viaxe no tempo para sentir o alala na voz calida de Uxia, que nos leva seculos atras, a esa hora do seran onde as notas melancolicas do alala falan da alma de Galicia, para escoitar un arrieiro solitario turrando pola besta na impoñente voz de Xisco Feijoo, o anguriante canto de cego ao son da zanfona na profunda voz de Tino Baz, ou mesmo melodias de gaita ineditas do gaiteiro Libardon, escoitadas na montaña de Lobeira. O noso desexo e que te achegues, coñezas e desfrutes dos xeneros musicais tradicionais e populares da nosa terra a traves destas paxinas e audios, e asi, valorar e apreciar este gran legado musical que nos pertence a todas e a todos.
