It’s a bit of a tragedy that Breton music doesn’t get the same healthy push as, say, Scottish or Irish music does. Outside of the absolutely legendary Alan Stivell, it’s rare to hear of great music coming out of this most unique of French provinces. Thankfully, we have Plantec to bring forth something that I suppose could qualify as electro-Breizh. The music simply rips with expert playing of Breton bagpipes, but there’s something that makes the music incredibly punchy and even danceable. Though this release is from around 2012, the band are still quite active today and continue to innovate by incorporating electronic music and even hip-hop into their authentically Breton sound.
