BAGPIPE

By Thalia Vazquez Serrano

Every country has a culture characterized by the food, music, dance, holidays, celebrations, sports, art, religious practices, politics, historical events, etc. It is very interesting to discover about others countries, and to learn new things about their traditions and cultures. Interacting with other people from different countries is a good way to learn about them and their traditions and cultures. These days, one does not need to travel. Only on internet you one can easily talk with a person from another country through the internet, is very easy, now there are many social networking services though which you one can find a new friends, including those from other countries and of different nationalities. If you have knowledge of their native language, language the interview is would be easier. I met an Australian boy for on Facebook. We were pleasantly surprised, because I am Mexican and he is Australian. We exchanged some phrases in English and Spanish. I wanted to know about his culture, I saw some pictures on his album showing about the Police playing Scottish bagpipes at Forest Place just outside Forest Chase in Perth, this very interesting. Then I started an investigation about bagpipes.

The Bagpipes is a musical instrument aerophone, though the Scottish Great Highland Bagpipe is a type of bagpipe native to Scotland its usage in the British military and in pipe bands throughout the world, bagpipes have been played for centuries throughout large parts of Europe, the term "bagpipe" is equally correct in the singular or plural, although in the English language, pipers most commonly talk of "the pipes", "a set of pipes", or "a stand of pipes". In these pipes, also called wind pipes. In the military context was a first reference about the bagpipes in Scotland, started with the British military and achieved the bagpipe traditions throughout. The bagpipes are used in role in military and civilian pipe bands, also in a solo virtuosic style. There are many ancient legends and stories about bagpipes, whose origins are now lost. There are records of the Battle of the North Inch of Perth reference "warpipes" being carried into battle. The bagpipes are a Bretona tradition, because the French Army went to serving during the First World War with the help of pipers of Scottish.

The dress of men traditional to play in the bagpipes is a knee length garment with pleats at the rear, original the Scottish, it is made of woollen cloth, is called "kilt", is a knee length garment with pleats at the rear, is made of woollen cloth, now this is used on formal occasions and Highland games, sports events and now roots as an everyday garment.

To hear the bagpipe is really relaxing.
