 Os Cempes, one of Anton's pioneering bands: | Anton Varela, 61 years old, passed away today, 25 July 2017, on the day of Galicia. Pioneer musician and bagpipe maker, shaper of the Galician bagpipe revival, Anton was a well-loved and well-known figure in the world of the gaiteros. Just a few weeks ago, I was translating his own personal account of his life as a musician and maker for the Bagpipe Society's journal, Chanter. I prefer to leave the last words to him.
