We will be focusing on Breton music most of this week. I visited Dom Duff‘s website from time to time and I asked him to be my next guest on my interview . I did feature the music of Brittany on my previous thread . Right now let us give the spotlight to a band called Startijenn. Most of  what you need to know about the band can be found in their official myspace music page. You can also visit the Trad.It! section to read more in English. The Official website has a lot to give. However it’s in French and Breton. I wish one day it will have an English/multi-lingual  translation available soon like what happened with Loreena McKennitt’s Quinlan Road website.

The first time I heard the music I was captivated. They resemble a bit to their Irish cousins Kila but this one has that distinctive Breton sound that can also be heard on Dan Ar Braz and Denez Prigent. They are young, great looking and they bring something to the mix that isn’t available in others.

For more information please visit the sites I posted to get more information about tour dates, news as well as new music.
