Soldat Louis

Soldat Louis is a French rock band from Lorient, Brittany, known for blending traditional Celtic music with rock and sea shanty influences. Formed in the late 1980s, they made a huge splash with their debut album “Première bordée” in 1988, which featured the runaway hit “Du rhum, des femmes”—a rowdy sea-chanty style anthem that quickly became a cult classic in France. Their music captures the spirit of maritime life, storytelling, and Breton pride, all wrapped up in energetic performances and a good dose of humor.

Over the decades, Soldat Louis has remained a beloved fixture in the French music scene, continuing to release albums and tour with a loyal fanbase. Albums like “Quelques nouvelles du front” and “Born in Europa” show they’ve still got their signature mix of heart and swagger. Whether on stage or in the studio, they keep flying the flag for Breton culture and spirited live music.
