La musique bretonne

Hello my friends !

Crazy Jerry is back !

Today I want to introduce you to Brittany culture and especially some music from Brittany.

Brittany (called "Bretagne" in French) is a part of France. It is located in the west of France and there are several states or departments : you have five

In fact this part of France is very special to me because my father was born in Brittany and also my grand-parents in Morbihan !
That's why it is very special to me and youknow I spent all my holidays or almost in Brittany ! So i have a lot of memories when i was young ! It was very nice !

So this part of France which is very mystic and very nice has its own languages ! We call it Breton and in Brittany you have different accents and variations ! depends where you live ! I have to tell you that my father speaks fluently le breton !! hehehe
I don't know it but i should learn in order to preserve this culture.

Now i want you to introduce to celtic music. We have a lot of great and famous musicians who are from Brittany !
Alain Stivell, Tri Yann for example and you have also a lot of musicians groups !

Please listen to this music and just enjoy it !!

Great music. Thank you for sharing these musical selections with the rest of us. It helps to understand a country and its people if you listen to their "native" music. BTW, I will show you how to do simple HTML, that the music videos that you link will open to a new page when people click on them. It's real easy and fun. Au revoir.
