A strong and original repertoire : traditional songs and music from Haute Bretagne. Arrangements influenced by Rock music.

A fusing of 6 musicians from Nantes whose main aim is sharing the enthusiasm they diffuse on stage.

It all started one Thursday evening in 1993 in the music shop of Jean Michenaud, surrounded by speakers, microphones and glasses of the local white wine (Muscadet). At the time, there were four of them, and they were all called Jean…

The team soon recruited new members, the final line up finally stabilising in 1997.
This group is totally original – there’s nothing else like it : it is a mixture of traditions form Haute Bretagne with a very modern approach to the songs and breton music in general.
It is also a lively fusion between the best of traditional sources and subtle or energetic arrangements.

In their third album tunes from Ireland and Brittany are woven around contemporary texts put to music by the group.
