Kan Ha Diskan
is probably the most common type of traditional music of Brittany. It is a vocal tradition ( translates from Breton as, roughly, '' call and response singing''). The style is the most commonly used to accompany dances. It has become perhaps the most integral part of the Breton roots revival, and was the first genre of Breton music to gain some mainstream success, both in Brittany and abroad. The lead singer is the , and the second singer is the . The kaner sings a phrase, and the diskaner sings the last few lines with the kaner, then repeats it alone until the same last few lines, when the kaner again joins in. The phrase's repetition is changed slightly in each execution. Kan ha diskan can be songs about any subject, but must meet one of a number of a meters used in folk dances, mostly line or round. Vocables, or nonsense syllables (typically ''tra la la la leh no''), are sometimes used to drag out lines. Usually a lasts from 5 to 20 minutes. In addition to the Goadecs, th ...

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- biniou pair and fest-noz ensembles incorporating other additional instruments, it has also branched out into numerous subgenres. Traditional Breton music Traditional Breton folk music includes a variety of vocal and instrumental styles. Purely traditional musicians became the heroes of the roots revival in the second half of the 20th century, notably the Goadec sisters (Maryvonne, Thasie, and Eugénie). At the end of the 19th century, the vicomte Theodore Hersart de la Villemarqué's collection of largely nationalistic Breton songs, ''Barzaz Breiz'', was also influential, and was partially responsible for preserving Breton traditions.

Breton Language
Breton (, , ; or in Morbihan) is a Southwestern Brittonic language of the Celtic languages, Celtic language group spoken in Brittany, part of modern-day France. It is the only Celtic language still widely in use on the European mainland, albeit as a member of the Insular Celtic languages, insular branch instead of the extinct Continental Celtic languages, continental grouping. Breton was brought from Great Britain to Armorica (the ancient name for the coastal region that includes the Brittany peninsula) by migrating Britons (Celtic people), Britons during the Early Middle Ages, making it an Insular Celtic language. Breton is most closely related to Cornish language, Cornish, another Southwestern Brittonic language. Welsh language, Welsh and the extinct Cumbric language, Cumbric, both Western Brittonic languages, are more distantly related, and the Goidelic languages (Irish language, Irish, Manx language, Manx, Scottish Gaelic) have a slight connection due to both of their origi ...

Call And Response
Call and response is a form of interaction between a speaker and an audience in which the speaker's statements ("calls") are punctuated by responses from the listeners. This form is also used in music, where it falls under the general category of antiphony. African cultures In some African cultures, call-and-response is a widespread pattern of democratic participation—in public gatherings, in the discussion of civic affairs, in religious rituals, as well as in vocal and instrumental musical expression (see call and response in music). African bondsmen and bondswomen in the Americas continued this practice over the centuries in various forms of expression—in religious observance; public gatherings; even in children's rhymes; and, most notably, in music in its multiple forms: blues, gospel, rhythm and blues, soul, jazz, hip-hop and go-go. Many work songs sung on plantations by enslaved men and women also incorporate the call and response format. African-American women work s ...

Line Dance
A line dance is a choreographed dance in which a group of people dance along to a repeating sequence of dance step, steps while arranged in one or more lines or rows. These lines usually face all in the same direction, or less commonly face each other.Knight, Gladys L. (2014). ''Pop Culture Places: An Encyclopedia of Places in American Popular Culture'', p.102. ABC-CLIO. .Lane, Christy (2000/1995). ''Christy Lane's Complete Book of Line Dancing'', p.2-4. Human Kinetics. .Zakrajsek, Dorothy; Carnes, Lois; and Pettigrew, Frank E. (2003).

Each dance is usually associated with, and named for, a specific song, such as the Macarena or the Electric Slide (associated with the 1982 single "Electric Boogie") which are a few of the line dances that have consistently remained part of modern American culture fo ...

Round Dance (ballroom)
Modern social round dance, or round dancing, is a choreographed and cued ballroom dance that progresses in a circular counter-clockwise pattern around the dance floor. The two major categories of ballroom dances found in round dancing are the smooth and international ballroom styles (such as foxtrot and waltz) and the Latin dances (such as cha-cha-chá, salsa, and rhumba). It is not to be confused with circle dancing, which is a type of folk dance in which dancers are connected in a circular chain. Description Round dancing differs from free-style ballroom dancing in that each round dance has been fully choreographed ahead of time, and a " cuer" or leader at the front of the ballroom tells the dancers, as they dance, what steps to do. As the music plays, and just ahead of the beat, so the dancers have time to respond, the cuer names each dance figure in the choreography. As a consequence, all the dancers on the floor are dancing the same steps at the same time. To create ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vocable
In the broadest sense of the word, a vocable (from ) is any identifiable utterance or writing, such as a word or term, that is fixed by their language and culture. The use of the term for words in the broad sense is archaic and the term is instead used for utterances which are not considered words, such as the English interjections of assent and denial, ''uh-huh'' and ''uh-uh'' , or the interjection of error, ''uh-oh'' . Such non-lexical vocables are often Non-lexical vocables in music, used in music, for example ''la la la'' or ''dum dee dum'', or in magical incantations, such as ''abra-cadabra''. Scat singing is essentially all vocables. Many Native American music, Native American songs consist entirely of vocables; this may be due to both phonetic substitution to increase the Sonorant, resonance of the song, and to the trade of songs between nations speaking different languages. Jewish Nigunim also feature wordless melodies composed entirely of vocables such as ''Yai nai nai'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Goadec Sisters
The Goadec Sisters (Ar C'hoarezed Goadeg in Breton), usually known as ''Les sœurs Goadec'' in French, were a Breton vocal group originating from Treffrin ( Côtes d'Armor, France). The trio embodied the traditional music of Brittany, singing a cappella. The three sisters were Maryvonne (1900-1983), Eugenie (1909-2003) and Anastasie Goadec (1913-1998). They began to perform at '' fest-noz'' (evening dances) in 1956, among the pipers and bombard players. Accompanied until 1964 by their two sisters, Louise (1903-1964) and Ernestine (1911-1964), their repertoire mainly consisted of laments ('' Gwerzioù'' in Breton). As a trio, they attempted to adapt their singing to dance and developed a new form of call and response singing ('' kan ha diskan''). The Breton revival, Celtic rock and the popularity of Folk music put them in the spotlight in 1972–1973, following Alan Stivell, one of their biggest admirers. The three sisters contributed much to Breton culture The culture of Bri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Marcel Guilloux
Marcel Guilloux (; 8 October 1930 – 11 June 2024) was a French singer and storyteller from Brittany. In addition to his career as a farmer, he was active in the world of ''kan ha diskan'' and modern ''fest noz''. Biography Born in Lanrivain on 8 October 1930, Guilloux was the youngest of eight children. He taught himself how to play harmonica from a young age and learned the Breton language through his mother's teachings of catechism due to the fact that its teaching was banned in French schools. He grew up with vision problems, which prevented him from attending school until the age of 10. He then left school to work on his family's farm. His father died in an accident in 1953, leaving him the primary caretaker of the farm. Guilloux began speaking Breton again in a Celtic circle made up of around 30 people in 1957. Although they spoke Breton with one another, they did not know the names for certain dances, instead singing in French during bal-musettes. With the revival of Bre ...
