This is a group of musicians with variable geometry, which makes us dance to his compositions the influences colored. In fest-noz or bal folk, there is something to satisfy the tastes of each dancer : between suite Plinn, Bourrée with crazy, Cercle Circassien of surprises, Loudeac percussive, Mazurka and Waltz magical ...

Les P'tits Poux transmit to us their passion for dance and music with lots of joy and energy. They like to join in the dance, large and small, confirmed and beginners, and they will explain with patience the first not to launch there. In short, as they say : Les P'tits Poux, It is that of love !

Basco really just want to tell you some stories. Their music is complex and varied, from hard hitting, high-speed reels full of rosin dust and sweat, through sweet and melancholy tunes that tell of loves won and lost, through fitful fever-dreams of fractal complexity and fascinating texture, to songs that when you come down to it, are really just about sex.

Basco's material is nearly all original, stealing shamelessly and frivolously from Nordic, English, Celtic and American idioms to create a kind of organic, soupy stew - full of vitamins and anti-oxidants.

Experience tells us that the interest for this genre is nothing but great. People who didn’t know they’ve had a passion for folk music has been struck to the ground by Skrömta – time after time. Skrömta proudly claims to be a natural part the new era of the music from the north and faces the heritage of their powerful ancestors: Hedningarna, Garmarna, Hoven Droven, Väsen – who wrote a new chapter in the Swedish music history. This chapter is to be continued. Skrömta works seriously on re-conquering this field, which most definetely has to be broadened and expanded.
 
The music of Skrömta reminds of this, distinguished by it’s almost magical energy and honour to the tradion, but with a liberating lack of respect to up-nosed dogmaticians and narrow-minded folk music experts. Still you might find it very delicate and beautiful. It’s all about squeezing the cream out of Nordic folk music, with its immense power and complexity. In Skrömta you’ll find a childish innocence but you also encounter Gamkärn’ – the old man, referred to as the devil himself.
 
You’ll confront the medieval era and the pest, you’ll bump into the scent of smoked ham, palliative and ”snus”. You’ll hear tales, the annoying fizzle of knee tufts and a slight fraction of profane oathes. Here you’ll find that self-distance you’d seldom find elsewhere on the folk music arena.
 
Skrömta invites you for an enigmatic dance wich leads you out on the ghost path. You’ll travel from reality to fantasy, from grief to euphoria. You’ll jump from grace to barbarity and eventually you’ll land upon your grandmothers coffee table.
 
Skrömta has played together for some 10 years, and incorporates five musicians from different parts of Sweden.
 
Skrömta has made 3 CD releases: “Grejhojta!”, “Swedish handicraft” and “Skrömtology”.
 
The band resides both in Stockholm and Finland and has been touring round about at festivals, pubs, churches and culture-preservation houses in Sweden, Scandinavia, Europe, Russia etc.
 
Skrömta’s songs are mostly original compositions and mainly inspired by the folk music traditions of Ångermanland and the south of Lappland - provinces located in the far north of Sweden. But the band also loves to play traditional songs interpreted by themselves. Skrömta wants to preserve and re-new the Swedish traditions.

Their previous release Meow was my album of the year for 2013 and Sunbox is at the same level. Hot Griselda are a loosely Belgian-based group playing a fusion of French, Irish, Dutch and other music, mostly rooted in tradition (whatever that means), and mostly on blaring woodwind. Irish and French pipes, whistles, bombarde and sax are backed by bouzouki and guitar, with the old Irish frame drum adding to the beat.
All the material on Sunbox was composed in roughly equal parts by three band members: Stijn van Beek on Irish pipes, Toon van Mierlo on Irish and French pipes, and bouzoukist Kaspar Laval who is a Low Countries gentleman - he can play the pipes, but chooses not to. The fourth member of Hot Griselda is guitarist Jeroen Geerinck, and this quartet pumps out a powerful sound akin to Flook or Sin É: comparisons with Lúnasa or Moving Hearts are also not out of place.
Totally instrumental, almost entirely acoustic, and merging influences from Brittany to Berlin via Buncrana, Hot Griselda are one of the most exciting traditional groups in Northern Europe right now. Their music is relentless, demanding, urgent, and technically superb. Listen to the definition on Djupavik, a Balkan-tinged opener which hits you between the eyes and forces you to pay attention. Feel the deep cranning on Cranes, the gut-wrenching rock guitar on Shooting Stars. Breathe in the calm relief of Katha, of Correct Me If I'm Wrong, and of Black Molly which has the hypnotic charm of iconic slow reels like The Last Pint. This CD is going on my 2018 Top Ten list for sure.

The universe of OZAN Trio is articulated around an intuitive and spontaneous music where the original couples are made and come apart according to the pieces, leaving each one a great freedom of interpretation, giving pride of place to improvisation, and without ever losing anything of the inexhaustible energy that the group knows how to transmit so well.

The repertoire, essentially in the style of Haut-Cornouaillais and Vannetais, is based on numerous melodic and poetic compositions where oriental, Gypsy or Yiddish influences, fully integrated and digested, allow to rediscover many elements of Breton music little exploited in Nowadays, and when the song, really perceived as an instrument, is no longer content to be a simple vector of text, but now aspires to be recognized also as a real musical actor.

Three years after "Konsert", Ozan gives us an equally attractive album. Recorded again in public, it is more than ever imbued with the unique vocal timbre of Armel An Héjer. In addition author-composer of most of the titles (Breton and French) and theatrical interpreter without peer, he succeeds in the feat of not covering his talent with that of his stooges. The flutes of Malo Carvou and the guitar of Bernard Bizien are all identity supports of an essential ensemble in the modern heritage of music in Brittany. And when the immense Henri Texier, an unexpected guest, comes to mix his double bass, what happiness!

With this set of original compositions, Bon Débarras goes on keeping alive the rich traditions of French-speaking America. Lyrics and melodies definitely attuned to Québec flavours have been enriched by the arrival of the violin. Energy-filled accents of podorythmie, stepdancing and body percussion punctuate this new opus also infused with urban beats and strong roots of First Nations.

Spinning tunes, singing stories, telling tales through dance in an atmosphere of vocal and human harmony, Bon Débarras offers En panne de silence, a ‘family’ album directed by Cédric Dind-Lavoie, former member and author of a number of the new pieces. The presence of Luzio Altobelli’s accordion and that of the Quatuor Trad make the experience even mellower, although this collection of songs burns with a contagious energy, extending an invitation never to surrender to silence!

Twm Twp is a Welsh dance band based in Brittany. The tunes on this CD are all traditional and the colourful arrangements build upon the classic Welsh folk sound with a rich combination of instruments, bringing in elements of Dixieland jazz, brass band music and the swing and drive of drums and percussion.
By the way, Twm Twp (name of a dance, Mad Tom in Welsh) is pronounced 'toum toup'... The band plays for concerts and dances all over France, and in Brittany, and increasingly in Britain (Sidmouth festival, Dolgellau Sesiwn Fawr, Towersey...) and other countries (including the big Rudolstadt Dance Festival in Germany in July 2005). They offer dance and instrument workshops as well as dances and concerts adapted to different audiences, with great audience participation. The contrast between the more traditional instruments (flutes, piano, accordion, ) with instruments often associated with jazz or other musical styles(trombone, tenor and soprano saxes, drums, darabouka, bouzouki), gives the whole sound a great bite. Great to listen to even if you don't dance!
