Startijenn: Talm Ur Galon CD

The emblematic trance group from Brittany is unveiled here in a completely new and unexpected light, achieving the feat of being experimental while still retaining a wider appeal. In its own way, it presents a modern and incisive Breton musical identity. Startijenn ponders, dreams, and presents – A heart’s beating – : original, sensitive, and vibrant compositions, in a mix of modern and ancestral music. Intimate and melancholy ballads evoking the depth of feelings, invitations to exalted trances. A solid line-up combining traditional instruments (bombard, biniou, uilleann pipes, diatonic button accordion) and a muscular rhythmic base with rock energy (bass and guitar). Expressive and free musicians who invent original arrangements on familiar tones.
