1996 studio album by The Chieftains From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Santiago is an album by The Chieftains, released through RCA Records in 1996.[1] The album is dedicated to traditional music of Galicia, the region in the northwest of Spain, and also adaptation of Galician emigrants' musical folklore in Latin American music, for example, in the music of Mexico and Cuba. As Paddy Moloney noted in the CD's booklet, Galicia is "the world's most undiscovered Celtic country".
