Breton Music
Brittany is an area of strong Celtic heritage, rich in its cultural heritage. Though long under the control of France and influenced by French traditions, Brittany has retained and, since the early 1970s, revived its own folk music, modernising and adapting it into folk rock and other fusion genres (see, for example, Alan Stivell, Dan Ar Braz, and Red Cardell).

Sing lullaby and be thou still;

Will sit by thee and wail my fill:
God bless my babe, and lullaby
From this thy father’s quality.”
