Successful homage to Brittany

Breton folk music currently enjoys great popularity in France. So the major concert events in the style of "Fest Noz" are also regularly transmitted live also frequently on French television. Equally successful are also Breton crooners such as Christophe Miossec or not unknown even in Germany Composer Yann Tiersen. All together they maintain long-proven Celtic cultural property. Less well known in this country, however, the singer Nolwenn Le Magueresse (Artist Name: Nolwenn Leroy), born in 1982, which is very successful in France and Switzerland with their pop interpretations Breton folk songs. Two titles are at least known in Baden Württemberg, they were already very successfully marketed by the Hip Hop group Manau there beside France. The title "La Jument" was at Manau "Mais Qui Est La Belette" and the title "Tri Martolod" was at Manau "La Tribu de Dana." The song "Tri Martolod" was also successfully launched already by Alan Stivell and it even came years ago to disputes over copyright between Manau and the performers. But courts ruled that Stivell could have no rights to a song that would come from the Breton folk music. All other items are relatively unknown to me, however, but are still worth listening to.

The singer, who is incidentally also the daughter of a well-known former professional football players in France, bears the title in several languages ​​before, including French, Breton and English. Consequently, you will discover not only folksongs from Brittany, but also songs of other peoples with Celtic roots, such as the Irish. French music has unfortunately a little difficult on the German music market, even if the successful album "ZAZ" of Isabelle Geoffrey currently speaks other words. Therefore you will find here on this platform is currently neither a tracklist yet a scan option. I recommend you for this purpose visiting the pages of amazon.fr.

The singer was known incidentally through their participation in the French talent show "Star Academy" in 2002, a derivative of the German TV show "Idol."

A recommendation to the People who love also Folk Hip Hopp is certainly the Best of Manau or album Panique Celtique Manau. After all, we know the melody of a Breton folk song in Germany as Feten- and carnival song, meant the song "What we want to drink (7 days)" of the group bots. But Scooter offered a version with "How much is the Fish.". In the original is the title "Son Ar Chistr" and was also previously already interpreted by Stivell. But the title is missing on this disc Leroy.
