Startijenn, which translates to "vigour" or "energy" in the Breton language, is a Celtic and Breton band that has been invigorating the traditional music scene since its formation in 1997. Emerging from the cultural fervor of Brittany, France, the group is known for its dynamic and spirited approach to the region's folk music. Startijenn skillfully melds traditional instruments like the bombarde, Breton bagpipes (binioù), and accordion with modern influences to create a contemporary sound that resonates with both purists and new audiences alike.
Their discography, featuring albums such as "Startijenn," "Pakit holl!," "‘kreiz da fas!," "El-TaQa," and "Skeud," showcases their commitment to their roots while also displaying a penchant for innovation. Notably, their live performances, such as those captured in "Live @ Les Vieilles Charrues" and "Paker tour (Live)," highlight the ensemble’s exceptional ability to engage and electrify concertgoers. With tracks like "Talm Ur Galon" and "Skilfoù An Noz (Radio Edit)," Startijenn continues to push the boundaries of Breton music, ensuring that the traditional sounds of Brittany echo into the modern era with unbridled energy and fresh textures.
