Over the course of the last 40 years Brittany has experienced an intense revival of vernacular traditional music performance and social dancing. In its most traditional form the music and singing which drive the dance is immediate and arresting in its raw appeal. In this publication, Irish musician and academic Desi Wilkinson opens a nuanced window, informed by his own experience, into this vibrant socio-musical reality.
