The title of this 8th creation by a collective of 9 instrumentalists and 2 singers is a reference to the traditional call of singers from Central Brittany “toud ‘n dud ba’n dañs”, everyone in the dance. There is a bit of anachronism in this inappropriate injunction today, but we will get out of these fly traps one day or another.
"We have chosen, for the first time, a repertoire of dance music only, coming from the Center of Brittany, from the south of the Gallo country and, thanks to the presence of 3 musicians from Occitania, we have built a suite of bourrées from Massif Central, respecting as for the Breton themes the modal and rhythmic interpretation of the modern musical intelligence of the ancients" KBA#8
Throughout this year of work, artists* from modal cultures made us experiment and understand their systems of arrangements and improvisation.
With a lot of personality, the collective has gathered and reconstructed all these proposals within an original repertoire.
Listen to the dance if you can’t practice it, no doubt the rhythm will carry you away.
