Este es uno de los primeros libros sobre el carismático cantautor. Serrat se estaba revelando como un "fenómeno de masas" y había calado hondo en la sensibilidad del público. El libro, que ensambla el reportaje, el compromiso histórico y un gran conocimiento de la cultura popular, adelanta asimismo un análisis de los "mass media" cuya vigencia apunta a la admirable lucidez de su autor.

Agustin Magaldi es sin lugar a dudas uno de los paradigmas de la cancion popular, reconocido por la belleza de su voz y la calidad de su interpretacion fue considerado por muchos como el heredero de Carlos Gardel. Magaldi hizo de su Arte un Apostolado, jamas dejo de cantar y grabar su voz, procurandose letras que fustigaran la injusticia social. Sentia que su profesion debia ser dedicada a obras de profundo contenido altruista que bregaran en defensa de los derechos humanos, en pos de una real distribucion equitativa para las necesidades materiales y espirituales. En el mismo sentido ubica dentro de su repertorio tematicas que revindican el rol de la mujer, hasta entonces culpable de todos los dramas del hombre. Sus canciones fueron notas de virtual pensamiento musical. Arrullaba, tenia gestos de paz, pero tambien rayos de admonicion. Perturbaba el sueno de los indiferentes. Este es el libro que se le debia a Agustin Magaldi, la voz sentimental de Buenos Aires, pero tambien es el libro que se les debia a todos sus admiradores.

O Dicionario de Música Popular en Galicia xorde froito de varias casualidades: a curiosidade da autora, a oportunidade de encauzala como Proxecto Fin de Carreira e o entusiasmo do Director deste Proxecto (Gonzalo Navaza). Asi se redactou este compendio de termos que ten o obxectivo de permiti-la catalogacion terminoloxica dun campo pouco estudado, e de paso facilita-lo achegamento o tema a quen o desexe e idealmente suscitar o interese de quen nunca pensou que a tradicion musical galega fora tan rica e atrainte. Olga Camafeita Longa naceu en Santiago de Compostela e e licenciada en Traduccion e Interpretacion pola Universidade de Vigo. Foi precisamente durante os seus estudos que entrou en contacto coa musica tradicional e popular galega da man de grupos folcloricos vigueses como Xalgarete e O Fiadeiro, o que fixo espertar o seu interese e conciencia sobre a recuperacion das tradicions do noso pais.

Este libro es un intento de acercamiento a los primeros estudios científicos realizados en España sobre las músicas populares y, en particular, sobre tres repertorios musicales relevantes y representativos de realidades especificas en Asturias y sus alrededores. Constituye tambien un homenaje a nuestro mas distinguido musico y musicologo Eduardo Martinez Torner.
