9th October, national day of the Valencian country

9th October is the national day of our region. In this date of the year 1238 the king Jaume I the Conqueror entered to Valencia and create the Kingdom of Valencia which survived until the 18th century. 9th october we remember this date as the origin of a nation, with its own language, its own laws, its own identity. In the video you can see some activities related with these commemoration: costumes, ornaments, performances, plays... The sound is a tipycal melody for these occasion or similar, "La Moixeranga", played with a tipycal instrument, a local kind of flute "la dolçaina" and a small drum "el tabalet".
