Kanerion Pleuigner - A galon vat (2025)

The male choir Kanerion Pleuigner from the Vannes region, known for preserving Breton oral heritage, is releasing the ambitious double album "A Galon Vat" ("From a Pure Heart/With a Kind Heart"). The project, led by Alain and Michel Le Henanff, represents a "dialogue between tradition and modernity," where 26 previously unreleased traditional Breton compositions receive bold contemporary arrangements. The recording features 15 male voices accompanied by 12 musicians, including players of the Irish bagpipes, organ, and bombarde, coordinated by the talabarder André Le Meut. The album's cultural mission is to transmit the heritage to new generations, viewing it as a "tool for bilingual programs.
