Long description: Avante Cuideiru is probably one of the most important Pipe Bands in
Asturies. The group was founded in the Asturian town of Cuideiru in 1985, with
the aid of the cultural and folklore association bearing the same name.
Avante Cuideiru´s performances are not restricted to Asturies. They have
represented their region for the last few year on "Covadonga Day"
(Asturies Day) in Benidorm (Alicante, Valencia). They have also performed at
the Asturian Centre in Madrid, been invited to RTVE (Spanish public television)
programmes, and took part in the "Asturies Week" in Ibiza, as well as
in Andalucia, the Balearic Islands, Castille, León, Valencia and
Galicia. They were in fact the only Pipe Band to take part in the official
welcome event for His Holiness, Pope John Paul II, on his visit to
Asturies.
The Pipe Band has also taken part in the following events: Nazare (Portugal,
1992), the Interceltic Festival in Lorient (Breizh/Brittany, France 1993),
officially representing Asturies, the Nantes Summer Festival (France,1994), the
Salzburg Music Festival (Austria. 1994), Venice (Italy, 1994), the
International Festival of Popular Traditions and Dances in Châteaneuf du
Faou (France, 1995), the International Festival of Saint Loup and Breton Dances
in Guingamp (France, 1995), the International Folklore Festival at
Montréjeau (France, 1996), the International Festival of Pyrenees in
Oloron Saint Marie (France, 1998), the International Festival in Kaustinen
(Finland. 1999), the International Festival in Montguyon (France, 2000) and the
International Festival in Murat (France, 2000).
They have recorded three CDs and a video (1994, 1997, 2000).
The Avante Guideiru Pipe Band´s conductor is Jose Manuel
Fernandez "Guti", a very meticulous and innovative piper, of
great prestige in the world of Asturian traditional music. He has several
