===Catalonia===
{{main article|Music of Catalonia}}
Though [[Catalonia]] is best known for [[sardana]] music played by a [[cobla]], there are other traditional styles of dance music like [[ball de bastons]] (stick-dances), [[galop]]s, [[ball de gitanes]]. Music is at the forefront in [[Cercavila|cercaviles]] and celebrations similar to [[Patum]] in [[Berga]]. [[Flabiol]] (a five-hole [[tabor pipe]]), [[gralla (instrument)|gralla]] or [[dolçaina]] (a [[shawm]]) and [[sac de gemecs]] (a local [[bagpipe]]) are traditional folk instruments that make part of some [[cobla]]s.

Catalan [[Romani people|gipsies]] and Andalusian immigrants to Catalonia created their own style of [[Flamenco Rumba|rumba]] called ''[[rumba catalana]]'' which is a popular style that's similar to flamenco, but not technically part of the flamenco canon. The rumba catalana originated in Barcelona when the rumba and other Afro-Cuban styles arrived from Cuba in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Catalan performers adapted them to the flamenco format and made it their own. Though often dismissed by aficionados as "fake" flamenco, rumba catalana remains wildly popular to this day.

The [[Habanera (music)|havaneres]] singers remain popular. Nowadays, young people cultivate [[Rock català]] popular music, as some years ago the [[Nova Cançó]] was relevant.
