Artist Info: Annie Ebrel

Annie Ebrel (born 1969) is a traditional singer of Breton songs from the village of Lohuec, in the district of Callac, Brittany. She learnt her craft under the well-known singers Marsel Gwilhou (Marcel Le Guilloux) and Louis Lallour.

Ebrel sings in Breton, usually "a capella" or with sparse instrumentation, and can veer into almost Breton scat-singing and jazz versions of "kan a diskan" songs, lesser-known traditional folk standards, ballads and laments. [read more...]
