Trouzerion

 

TROUZERION / CHANTS POPULAIRES DE BRETAGNE

POPULAR SONG OF BRITTANY

VOLUME 3

Arfolk, ?, SB 410

This is the third and last album by these six singers from Morbihan. The publication date is unknown but I believe it goes back to the mid-eighties. After Jan er Meut and Job Kerlagad's death the band continued singing and recording with the remaining four. 
Here again dance tunes are the most numerous with side A focusing on the ''an dro'' and ''hanter dro'' and side B on ''laridé''. Three other songs (march and listening songs) are part of the programme.
Note that J. Kerlagad opens and concludes the album with a candy seller's cry in French.
The song on B1 is a mixture of French and Breton languages.
