The music of the Canary Islands reflects its cultural heritage. The islands used to be inhabited by the Guanches which are related to Berbers; they mixed with Spaniards, who live on the islands now. A variant of Jota is popular, as is Latin music, which has left its mark in the form of the timple guitar. There has been a strong connection with Cuban music, Venezuelan, Puerto Rican, and other Caribbean countries both through commerce and migration. Popular dances from the Canary Islands include: *Isas *Tajaraste *Baile del Candil *Baile de Cintas *Danza de Enanos *El Santo Domingo *Tanganillo *Folias *Malagueña Of these, the Isas, a local variation of Jota are the most well-known and characteristic of the Canary Islands. They are graceful music, with a lot of variation among islands. In some places, a ''captain'' leads the dance and organizes others in a chain as the dance grows more and more complex. Rondalla arrangements are very common. Instruments include charangas, timples (similar to a cavaquinho / ukulele), castanets, panderetas, lauds and guitars. A peculiar ensemble in El Hierro island is made of pito herreño players (a wooden transverse flute) and drums. Some ritual dances in Tenerife island are led by a tabor pipe player. Joyful music for carnival lies to a big extent on brass bands and Latin American patterns. ==Canarian musicians== *Brandania *Pedro Guerra *Rosana *Valentina la de Sabinosa 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Music of the Canary Islands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
