Bagpipes | David Cohen | TEDxDavenport

There is a lore to the bagpipes. It is an instrument that people either love or don't love. Whichever type of person one is, bagpipers are always asked five questions regarding the tradition. Bagpiper David Cohen talks about the development of the instrument and performs traditional melodies on the Great Highland bagpipes and traditional Galatian melodies on the gaita (Spanish bagpipes).  David Cohen is an award-winning musician and recording artist who is accomplished in the Classical and flamenco guitar, Chinese pipa, and bagpipes. David’s study of music has led him to California, Nevada, New York, and Scotland. David has performed with the Pipes and Drums of the Jersey Shore Shillelaghs and the Black Hawk Pipes and Drums of the Quad Cities. David resides in Kemmerer (the second "er" is silent), Wyoming. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
