Album Notes & Community Reviews
Serving as the solo debut for the renowned Breton guitarist following his tenure with Alan Stivell, 'Douar Nevez - Terre nouvelle' is a sweeping conceptual suite based on the legendary sunken city of Ys. The instrumental compositions highlight Dan Ar Braz's highly melodic, fluid electric guitar style interlaced with atmospheric acoustic passages and bagpipes. It remains a foundational recording of the Celtic rock genre.
