Talk:Castell

message: I don't think Castell should be merged with Casteller, since there are different things to be said about both concepts, but I think there are things said in one entry that belong to the other and viceversa, so maybe that should be checked and some parts be moved from one to the other.

replies: text: I don't see why not.  It appears that Castellers are merely the people who take part in "making" a Castell. merge. Radagast83 22:29, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

text: The catalan word Castell refers both to the Human Tower, and to the actual medieval fortification. Castellers refers only to those that build Human Towers --MiquelMartin (talk) 15:28, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

message: "Corpulent" usually means something like "obese." Is it really the case that castellers are usually really fat, or are we looking for another word? —vivacissamamente 19:27, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Franco did not ban castells. After the spanish civil war (1936-1939) he forced some teams, such as the 2 from Valls, to merge. But some years later the 2 teams were split again. I have removed the sentence regarding "the most skilled castellers can be found in" because this is too qualitative.  Instead, I added the 4 cities where the top 5 teams are located, which is a fact that no one can discuss. --Jordiferrer (talk) 16:51, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

message: While I can imagine that a wide variety of music can be played at these events, it seems that one piece stands out, since I hear it over and over: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzYvFwYNndk .
Does anybody know the name of this? Would it be worth mentioning if there was a "core" repertoire of music that is played?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.68.25.146 (talk) 00:26, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That video certainly includes the "Toc de castells" music which is mandatory when a Castell is built. It is played with an instrument named Gralla, (see ca:Gralla (instrument)), (similar to a Chirimia). You can see a dedicated article regarding the Castells music, in Catalan wikipedia. See: ca:Música de castells. --Jordiferrer (talk) 15:35, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Moixiganga 

message: Recently, user 158.42.243.150 made an edit claiming the origin of Castells is in the Muixeranga of Algemesí, in Valencia. While the edit is sourced to an El Mundo article, I would argue that this article is actually incorrect, and have found a few conflicting sources stating a more commonly-agreed origin (at least the one I've heard explained in the past), and am editing the article accordingly.
It's like humans and apes in evolution—both the muixeranga and the castell have a common origin—the Ball dels Valencians—but the castell is not directly descended from the muixeranga. In Catalonia the castell evolved from that in Valls, first documented in 1723, and later spread. Since the sources contradict, if anyone wants to argue with my edit, have at it and we can find a solution. acomas (talk) 13:53, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
