Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stivell's first live album captures the concert that carried Breton music onto a Parisian main stage, its thirteen tracks including 'Tri martolod', 'Pop-Plinn' and the 'Suite sudarmoricaine'. The performance at the Olympia turned a regional folk revival into a national phenomenon and opened the door for the Celtic rock movement in France.
