Susana Seivane is the eponymous debut album by Galician gaita (bagpipes) player Susana Seivane, released in 1999.
The album has a wide diversity of time-signatures. The arrangements are done by Rodrigo Romani of Milladoiro, Brais Maceiras and Seivane. This is her most traditional album till now, with no rock elements, and many traditional songs.
Seivane sang two songs (tracks 5 and 12) the first solo, the second with Sonia Lebedynski, sung in Galician. The liner notes contain a photograph of her playing bagpipes in a procession in folk costume at the age of three. From a technical point of view "Xota dos 28 puntos" has the most complex playing technique. The liner notes are in Spanish and English.

Music critic Peggy Latkovich wrote in her Allmusic review "... her playing is confident with a fine rhythmic sweep. The simple arrangements, though a bit dry at times, keep the spotlight on her performance. Since the nasal moan of Galician pipes is an acquired taste for many, this can be seen as a plus or a minus... There's a good variety of tune types, from traditional jotas (dance tunes) to newly composed waltzes and rumbas... Seivane shows a lot of promise. It will be interesting to watch her develop as an artist." [1]

Exercises is the second studio album by the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, released in 1972. Although their music is most accurately described as "blues-tinged hard rock", this record is quite far from the band's more standard fare, featuring, quite surprisingly, a number of acoustic arrangements, several songs with orchestral strings, and traditional Scottish airs. Indeed, the album's "1692 " is about a real incident in Scottish history, namely, the massacre of Glencoe. The album is also significant for its Roy Thomas Baker production—only his third project, and well before his breakthrough works with Queen in the mid-seventies—and its oddly 'new wave' cover-art. An early version of the Razamanaz song, "Woke Up This Morning", also makes an appearance on Side 1.

The muiñeira is a traditional dance and musical genre of Galicia (Spain). It is distinguished mainly by its expressive and lively tempo, played usually in 6
8, although some variants are performed in other time signatures. There are also variant types of muiñeira which remain in the tempo of 6
8 but which displace the accent in different ways. Muiñeira is associated with traditional choreographic schemes and the associated instrumentation is a form of bagpipe known as a gaita. It is subject to highly varied interpretation in differing local traditions. According to "Galicia-The Spanish Cousins", an article on Roots World, muiñeira is the Galician "equivalent" of a jig, which is consistent with the time signature of 6
8. The word "muiñeira" means literally both millstone and a mill landlady. Galician music is classified as part of Celtic music.
