Music for my Camino slideshow?

[JillGat]

I'm looking for background music for my Camino slideshow. Guitar music would be nice - looking at William Ackerman - but I don't want it to be all melancholy or all overbearing flamenco. Of course something Spanish would be nice, but not necessary. What have others used effectively?

Look into the music of Berroquetto. They are a Galician group.

I have started to purchase cd's from street artists and local bands, and ask permission to use it with my youtube videos. Permission has always been granted.

But I also use copyrighted material. I have had almost no problems doing this. My video from last year's camino was taken down, but not until after it had reached over 2,ooo views, and then, after a while, it suddenly reappeared again which was very strange.

Although strictly breaking some restrictions by using copyrighted material, if you don't monetise your video, in my experience, there is not a great problem, even on youtube. 0f course, I always credit the musicians at the end of the film.

Here are a few sentences from a webpage about U.S. copyright law:

A commercially motivated infringer can receive up to a five-year federal prison term and $250,000 in fines; a noncommercial willful infringer is subject to up to a one-year prison term and $100,000 in fines. The prison term maximum for repeat infringers is up to 10 years for commercially motivated ones and up to six years for noncommercial infringers. Copyright infringers may be sued both civilly and prosecuted criminally for the same infringing act. In cases where the alleged infringer has few assets that a copyright owner might recover in a civil suit, the owner may seek to have the government prosecute the infringer as a criminal.

I guessed my response would elicit a reply along those lines. I guess we choose what laws to strictly adhere to. I am generally a very law abiding person and am working towards obtaining a collection of music which I have permission to use with my videos. Maybe for next year's video I will be able to 'toe the line'.

There are acceptable uses of copyrighted songs. Usually, noncommercial uses for education or religion are fine. When I give a Camino talk it is educational. I don't make any money directly or indirectly from such talks.

If only out of respect for the original artist who is attempting to make a living doing what they love. Tread very carefully when it comes to copyrights.

When I have had a visit abroad, I have usually made a DVD with background music and commentary.
In 2011 I did a coach trip from Madrid to Leon, Candas ,Picos de Europa, and SDC.
In SDC I asked the hotel staff ,who was their favourite classical guitarist and they came up with 2 names. Manuel Budino ( with an accent over the "N" as Ni. ).
The second name was Daniel Barrera.
I bought both CD s in El Corte Ingles in Santiago and both are suitable for your task.

No, sorry, they are not. Buying a CD doesn't transfer the right to use the music in videos etc. it just gives you, personally, the right to listen to it. Buen Camino, SY

As somebody that makes part of her living with that (visuals and words, but not music and sounds) I couldn't agree more!!! SY

There is ample music and a myriad of choices in the public domain ....

Thanks for those names. Of course copyrighted music/art should not be for commercial use, but I hardly think amateur private slideshows, with attribution to the artists, applies. If anything, it builds a following for those artists. I also picked up some CDs in Spain, but nothing that wouldn't overpower a slideshow!

I was given permission by Austin Durack to use his music for my video. He has walked the Camino and composed music along the way. He may be happy to give you permission also.

I agree with the comments made, but I did not show my DVD in public or promote it or produce more than one copy.
Sorry if this offended anyone.
