Guillemer : Escale
|
|
"Brittany also means a maritime tradition. Musically, this manifests itself in every Breton port in what are called sailor songs or sea chantys.
With the group GUILLEMER, you are closer to «sea songs». The writings of Hervé Guillemer, drawn from the considerable correspondance of his Newfoundlander grandfather, are yet very contemporary. Here you will find not a re-hashing of old themes, but a maritime poetry accompanied by acoustic music with simple and effective arrangements."

Melaine Favennec : Nos îles nos amours
with booklet of photos by Michel Thersiquel |
 |
"Well ballasted, the music groove sails into the wind without losing its
course. The melodies have certainly passed near the shores of James
Taylor, Bob Dylan or closer to our coast, Cabrel or Souchon.
When Melaine sings, one almost hears an echo of the pop song coming from
across the Atlantic, and yet the expression is personal, always rooted."

Manu LANN HUEL :
Île -Elle
with booklet of photos by Michel Thersiquel
|
|
"The Gypsy of the celtic voice
Author-composer-interpreter, Manu Lann Huel is without a doubt one of the greatest poets of Brittany, he carries in himself all the flames of a writing which has chosen the song to express itself, but which could tomorrow find other forms of communicating a spirit as visceral as it is original..."

Didier Squiban & An Tour Tan :
Penn-Ar-Bed / Brest 96
|
|
"First of all there is Didier Squiban, the composer. If music has colors, his are those of the sea. Then there are the voices, strong and contrasted, of Yann-Fañch Kemener and Manu Lann Huel. All the soul of Brittany comes through in the warmth of their lyrics. Finally there is this collective ensemble, musicians and singers harmonizing in this brilliant hymn to the sea."

Didier Squiban & An Tour Tan :
LIVE
|
|
"In 12 titles, Didier Squiban passes through traditional Celtic music, jazz, rock, musette and even music hall styles. Synthesis of music : mixture of lyrics too : poetry mated with the tale, songs with a message or more light-hearted, the Breton language mingling with English and French. Nevertheless, this musician knows where he is going. His guide, his Ariadne? The sea."

Guillemer : de Brest à Douarnenez
|
|
"The sea is not tellable. The phrases slip and glide like the "grand torrent", the Fromveur between Molene and Ouessant. The sea is not tellable. It must be sung, it must have the swells to carry the words, it must have the waves of the music which give the words their ebb and flow."
