Bara Gwin est un phénomène inhabituel dans le monde de
la musique bretonne. Depuis la musique bretonne n'est pas bien connu en Amérique, les quelques groupes qui font l'exécuter normalement le faire comme un bibelot. Bara Gwin effectue la musique au sérieux, avec des arrangements sophistiqués et puissants. Nous pensons que la musique bretonne est aussi importante et distincte que bien d'autres genres musicaux d'intérêt universel comme le rock ou jazz.

ABOUT US / AR STROLLAD
Bara Gwin performs Breton Fest Noz music, combining traditional and original compositions in a unique and complex style that has evolved over 14 years of gigs and rehearsals.
‘Bara Gwin’ is a Breton term for ‘food and drink’ that gave rise to the French word ‘baragouin’. Baragouin, originally a contemptuous reference to Breton, means in French: outlandish unintelligible speech, incomprehensible language, gibberish.
