The song in all its forms with 5tet and Edgar: the Bretons Hamon Martin Quintet offer contemporary and popular French-speaking folk. Edgar Sekloka slams with conviction on his new album Black Music.

The Hamon Martin Quintet releases a new album Clameurs
It is not without reason that the HMQ very quickly became an emblematic group of Haute-Bretagne dance. The alliance between song and instruments, rare among fest-noz groups, is no stranger to this success. Mathieu Hamon's voice holds the necessary link to the popular memory preserved by the collection, with an impressive scale that makes him a benchmark performer. Their 7th album Clameurs , released by Coop Breizh invites Rosemary Standley (Moriarty, Birds On A Wire).

Edgar Sekloka presents his new album Musiques noire
Gaël Faye's former sidekick in the group Milk, Coffe and Sugar is releasing a new solo album Black Music  at Sugar Music, which achieves a synthesis between rap and song. He uncompromisingly distils his words, denouncing the alienations of modern times, through everyday social chronicles, while propagating his benevolence.
