Brand new
and unique in North America !
Yesterday, Until
recently, the authentic traditional celtic music and singing
of Brittany, an old celtic region of Western Europe, was represented
and played in North America by three musicians: Alain Leroux,
Gilles Plante, Hervé Connan.
Today. As everywhere else, Breton music evolves with the rest
of the world, retaining its Celtic origins related to Irish &
Scottish. This is why Patrick Graham , with his exotic percussions,
has joined the band for the Breton music of today.
Spectacular and spiritual dance
tunes an unique odd instrumentation: two sets of Breton pipes,
bombards, recorder, rustic clarinet, mandocello, fiddle, melodion
and more Traditional singing of exquisite & compelling laments,
and songs to dance in the rich and unique vocal technique called
in Breton: Kan ha Diskan (litteraly : singing and response) Our
music is an authentic moment of folk/world music, never played
the same, full of improvisations and spontaneity, adapted from
the musicians daily mood Like it was 2 centuries ago, like it
still is in Brittany now.
