[@coleraineful]

This lady is an excellant Uilleann piper. Keep going.

[@eamonnmurphy5086]

Well done to all of you .

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

What a wonderful world we live in with amazing people playing brilliant music

[@Twittler1]

What an excellent piper. She has an intuitive feel for them.

[@eddiefitzgerald5198]

What a fantastic story from Argentina. It's lovely to hear the Uilleánn Pipes being played so well in Patagonia by Pamela. You live in a most beautiful place. I think a nice place to holiday in. There is a tradition between Ireland and Argentina going back a long time. You are making that bond stronger. Thank you.

[@brianfrench8312]

A joy the watch and listen to. It is amazing to know that In Argentina, the Uilleann Pipes are played, mastered and the tradition carried on. Congratulations to all involved in producing this video.

[@johnnoonan4775]

Absolutely fascinating. Thanks for this.

Que bueno como un fan de la música Irlandesa en Argentina valoro esto.

[@RyanCacophony]

What a beautiful documentary. She touches on at the end but much of south america has experienced wiping away of culture due to colonial and other outside oppressors, a history I think the Irish peoples can relate to. It's beautiful to have such an enthusiastic group all the way across the globe, and even more wonderful that the NPU has been supporting their journey and community as a way to spread the beauty of traditional cultures.

Great to hear and see the Uilleann Pipes being played as far away as Argentina 💚💙💚💙💚💙

[@theredhairedchild944]

This was such a great watch. I love seeing Irish culture finding its way to other countries. Maybe anyone upgrading their pipes could donate to this lady to grow her school if she paid the shipping? Maybe NPU could do an outreach to pipers because this extension of Irish piping should be encouraged. This show should be on tg4

Hi Pamela, what a fantastic video, I did have tears in my eyes, I will get a ste of pipes myself very soon. Oh maybe some time you will come to Australia??

[@conormirgan8917]

What a tremendous woman. She has the passion and pride. I love the pipes like that too.

Llegó tarde, pero q proyecto más bonito... Qué gozada tener un club escuela y con apoyo de Npu. Encontrar el enlace a gente a ese nivel y me refiero a la atmósfera de las Session cómo en Irlanda. Podría contar mil millones de aventura de mi viaje a ese mundo... pero desde aquí Frankfurt me habéis ilusionado y emocionado y os mando un gran abrazo con amor y admiración a esa bonita familia de Uilleann pipers. Yo aún sigo con mi sueño de hacerme lutier y ya he encontrado un posible maestro aquí en Deutschland, autodidacta llevo 20 años fabricando un full set (ahora completo half Set) y en proyecto ya de construir mi propio taller a la espera de aprender de dicho maestro.... Un abrazo grande. Yep pap pa yaaaa!

[@robertpirsig5011]

Wow this is amazing. Incredible players around the world now.

[@yourcelebrant]

Such a wonderful, evocative sound.

[@SusanaRegas]

Maravilloso trabajo realizado con la música irlandesa en nuestra Patagonia. Felicitaciones.

[@seamusnolan4083]

More power to your elbow, great program

[@noelryan6341]

Iontach thar barr/Excellent/Fantástico! I love how the Buenos Aires suburb of 'Hurlingham' derives from Irish sport 'hurling'! The Irish music connection to Latin America goes back hundreds of years to when Irish Jesuits introduced the Harp, so it is really exciting to see the Uilleann Pipes being adopted and flourishing. Bualadh Bos NPU/Congratulations on fostering & supporting this great initiative! 👏

[@diegocalvorodriguez]

Ahi está la mejor profesora de gaita y de whistle, una persona maravillosa, y una inspiración!

[@brendanmcnamara1414]

A lovely classy lady lovey to listen to 😮listen to a lovely gentle style I wish her luck and welcome to the Irish. Diaspora ❤

[@pabloschweblin4493]

Hermoso video. Pame y Alfred, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. Felicitaciones!!!

[@branscombeR]

@pabloschweblin4493: Nice comment at the end 'there is no path, the path is made by walking'.... 'just what I need for my new book! Is it a well-known quotation? R (Australia) EDIT: I Googled it and found it! Walker, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more. Walker, there is no road, the road is made by walking. Walking you make the road, and turning to look behind you see the path you never again will step upon. Walker, there is no road, only foam trails on the sea. Antonio Machado, trans.

[@KevinRowsome]

Excellent production. Congratulations to all involved.

[@mactcampbell]

You described the Irish music to a T. They're very generous with their music and they're also very reverend about the music. I played in open pub sessions in Ireland and I've concluded that the Irish are the best casual session musicians in the world. You've become a very good piper.

[@gloin10]

Great stuff! Iontach an run é!

[@diegocalvorodriguez]

y Alfre, un tipazo!! grandisimo

[@gregorynuttall]

Que genial! Espero viajar un día a la cordillera y tocar la gaita con ustedes. Viví un tiempo en Trelew, pero quiero pasar por allá con este grupo de gente de 10.

[@cristinacapatto3271]

Que maravilla ! La pasión y el amor puesta en el cuidado de un legado que no tiene fronteras! Gracias

[@thomasjohnson7871]

A very fine documentary!

[@mactcampbell]

Pamala: You should do a few traditional Argentenian/Latin sets on the uilleann pipes and upload them here. That would be interesting.

[@gudlisner501]

This woman is truly inspirational and then just think of how many of our Irish people don’t care about this part of our culture.

[@Twittler1]

Great documentary. Subscribed!

[@jkbarber62]

Outlawed tunes played on outlawed pipes. ☘️🇮🇪🇦🇷🇰🇼

[@ericdietz1795]

Spiffy! Hey, the bandoneon is a sort of super concertina; have any of the locals tried it out on Irish music?

Brilliant Performance Honey Well done Keep Safe Xx

[@branscombeR]

No mention of the Welsh speaking Celtic enclave in Patagonia ... some cultural crossover, surely?

[@guillermohernandez4649]

Welsh has survived in Chubut Province, as different languages in others. We argentines all speak Castellano (spanish) but our ancestors came from different countries and we don´t hate cultural diversity; me love it. I have spanish basque, french basque, spanish and italian ancestors, my sons also german and british ancestors, my great sons also norwegian and scottish ancestors, and so on. For us, no matter his ancestry, his religion, the colour of its skin, we are all the same: human beings.
