Les Marins d’Iroise

The French exact carbon copy of Slot Isaac’s Fisherman’s Close friends, Les Marins d’Iroise certainly are a 31-piece vocal troupe from Brest in charge of bringing traditional ocean shanties and nautical folk tunes back to their homeland’s graphs. Formed in the Brest Maritime Event in 1992, the choir (which just five were real sailors) spent another two decades carrying out at various occasions in the united states, until it drawn the interest of Universal this year 2010, that was searching for another group of improbable pop stars following achievement of Les Prêtres as well as the Benedictine Nuns of Notre-Dame. Made by Jon Kelly (Paul McCartney, Kate Bush), their self-titled debut record highlighted impassioned renditions of traditional folk numbers such as for example “Le 31 du Mois d’Aout,” “My Bonnie Lays Over the Sea,” and “Sur la Path de SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA,” aswell as interpretations of newer fare from Tri Yann (“La Complainte de Louis-Marie Jossic”), Jacques Brel (“Amsterdam”), and Michel Tonnerre (“Le Quatre-Mats Barque”).
