Carlos Núñez

Carlos Nuñez was born in Vigo (Galicia, Spain), and is considered as one of the best bagpipe players in the world. He started playing the bagpipe at the age of eight, and now his virtuosity with the 'gaita' (bagpipe) has led him to be called 'the Jimi Hendrix of the pipes'. He had been playing and touring with The Chieftains for many years and because of that he became the honorary '7th Chieftain'.
