'Galician music is classified as part of Celtic music. '

[edit]

I question this ... Here's why. "Re: Is Galician music really all that Celtic? sry for alle the typos, I was sitting in the bus and was trying to type that comment a bit too fast.

I obviously meant that most of the tunes are from the 18th and 19th century ;) 
Celtic tribes settled down in Galicia around 700 b.c. 
If it is true, that the style of music, that we now as Irish Trad evolved nearly 2500 years after the first celts came to Galicia (maybe around 16th , 17th or 18th century), any similarity, based on a common celtic origin seems pretty unlikely to me. 
Irish and Galician culture has been exposed to so much outside influence over this gigantic time span, that in my opinion, any similarity between both styles of music is probably not based on common celtic roots, but much more on other factors. 
In other words, you probably wouldn’t say that the music of a German Brass band and traditional English folk have a distinct germanic style..  

I hope someone has more solid knowledge about this subject and maybe can even recommend some literature it!
Its really and interesting topic!
