"Gáitropos", the man-bagpipe, protagonist of a beautiful apocryphal legend, gives the title to the second album of the Galician band Leixapren. Leixapren was born in 1985 and in principle, their music was the same that they received through their incursions in the different popular festivities of Galicia. To those traditional instruments suitable to each song, they added the typical ones of any folk formation, always with the most simple acompanyment possible, with the purpose of never diverting the attention from the basic enchantment of the popular melodies. Nevertheless, not distancing themselves from traditional Galician music, Leixapren have always presented in their repertoire, compositions of their own in which there is a constant search for that peculiar "something else" that every artist wishes to transmit. In this last work, Leixapren, perhaps infected by the innovative air of some of its members, resorts to more complex harmonies in several songs. In "Gáitropos", the purest most popular types of music are combined with the most innovative tunes that the band has ever composed up to date (Na Fonte dos Tornos, A Rúa das Hedras, ...)
