The music of Asturias is varied. The most characteristic instrument in traditional music is the [[Gaita asturiana|Asturian bagpipe]], or ''Gaita asturiana'', which has a single drone.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pibgyrn.com/index.php?title=d=31&m=07&y=07&category=7 |publisher=Pibgyrn.com |access-date=2010-04-26 |title=Practical guide to making pibgyrn by Gerard KilBride |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402111742/http://www.pibgyrn.com/index.php?title=d%3D31&m=07&y=07&category=7 |archive-date=2012-04-02}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=Sergio y Pablo Arce |url=http://www.asturies.com/viesca/gaita/ |title=La Gaita Asturiana |publisher=Asturies.com |access-date=2010-04-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100420023231/http://www.asturies.com/viesca/gaita/ |archive-date=2010-04-20 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The bagpipe is often accompanied by the hand drum, whistles and accordion.

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in traditional folk music, and several music ensembles have gained regional and international recognition for their ethnomusicological study and presentation of indigenous Asturian music. Notable examples include traditional pipers such as Xuacu Amieva and Tejedor and fusionist José Ángel [[Hevia]] (whose music video<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUA3sdyZ_Pw |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211030/qUA3sdyZ_Pw |archive-date=2021-10-30 |title=Hevia - Busindre Reel (High Quality) |publisher=YouTube |date=2009-06-03 |access-date=2015-08-01}}{{cbignore}}</ref> provides views of both the gaita and the Asturian landscape), and the groups [[Llan de Cubel]], [[Xera (band)|Xera]], Nuberu and Felpeyu.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.folkworld.de/2/llan.html |title=FolkWorld Article: Llan de Cubel |publisher=Folkworld.de |access-date=2010-04-26 |archive-date=2017-01-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170110045736/http://www.folkworld.de/2/llan.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=cranky crow |url=http://worldmusiccentral.org/article.php?story=20030906103905488 |title=Celtic music of Spain |publisher=World Music Central |date=2003-09-14 |access-date=2010-04-26 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090630074730/http://worldmusiccentral.org/article.php?story=20030906103905488 |archive-date=2009-06-30}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cityfolk.org/Enewsletter/0606.htm |title=CITYFOLK MONTHLY - June 2006 |publisher=Cityfolk.org |access-date=2010-04-26 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101206175719/http://cityfolk.org/Enewsletter/0606.htm |archive-date=2010-12-06}}</ref> Additionally, numerous rock, ska and heavy metal groups have also found relative success within Asturias, many of which incorporate elements of traditional Asturian music into their sound.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.asturshop.com |title=Asturshop |publisher=Asturshop |access-date=2010-04-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100414132706/http://asturshop.com/ |archive-date=14 April 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Anthem===
The Asturian anthem [[Asturias, patria querida]] (Asturias, beloved fatherland), which was a popular song adopted as the region's anthem and formalised by ''Ley 1/1984, de 27 de Abríl''.

===Orquesta Sinfónica del Principado de Asturias===
The [[Orquesta Sinfonica del Principado de Asturias|Orquesta Sinfónica del Principado de Asturias]] is the premier orchestra in the Principality of Asturias.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ospa.es/ |title=Inicio - Orquesta Sinfónica del Principado de Asturias |publisher=Ospa.es |access-date=2015-08-01 |archive-date=2020-11-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201125135753/http://www.ospa.es/ |url-status=live }}</ref> It is based in the Auditorio Príncipe Felipe in Oviedo, but also performs in the main concert venues in Gijón and Avilés.

===Other===
''[[Leyenda|Asturias]]'' is also the name of the fifth movement of the ''Suite Española, Op. 47'' by Spanish composer [[Isaac Albéniz]]. Nevertheless, the music has little in common with the region's own folklore. Another famous piece of classical music more authentically inspired by the Asturian musical heritage is [[Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov]]'s ''[[Capriccio Espagnol]]'', which prominently features a theme from an ''alborada'', a dance tune traditionally played to celebrate the rising of the sun.
