Music Of Brittany
Since the early 1970s, Brittany has experienced a tremendous revival of its folk music. Along with flourishing traditional forms such as the bombard-binou pair and fest-noz ensembles incorporating other additional instruments, it has also branched out into numerous sub-genres. A great event to sample some traditional Breton music as well as some of the more modern variations like 'Rock Celtique' is to Visit Lorient in the first 10 days of August every year for the Interceltique Music Festival.

“As polishing expresses the vein in marble, and grain in wood, so music brings out what of heroic lurks anywhere. The hero is the sole patron of music.”
