Manau

Manau is really a France rap group whose Celtic-styled debut one, “La Tribu de Dana,” was among the largest strikes of 1998, topping the country wide chart for a couple months right. Founded in 1998, the group can be chiefly made up of Martial Tricoche and Cédric Soubiron, whose relationship went back a decade further, if they co-hosted a radio present featuring the previous because the frontman as well as the latter because the turntablist. The Parisian duo, both of whom are of Breton traditions, originally founded Manau being a Celtic rap group in cooperation with multi-instrumentalist Hervé Lardic (aka R.V.). Featuring Tricoche because the group’s frontman and songwriter; Soubiron simply because composer, programmer, and DJ; and Lardic as composer and multi-instrumentalist, the group produced some demonstration recordings that resulted in a major-label saving agreement with Polydor. Manau subsequently made their industrial documenting debut in 1998 using the one “La Tribu de Dana,” a Celtic rap tune whose catchy refrain can be an interpolation from the melody from Alan Stivell’s 1971 rendition from the Breton folk regular “Tri Martolod.” One of the primary strikes of 1998, “La Tribu de Dana” topped the French singles graph for 12 consecutive weeks and spent 23 weeks general in the very best Three. Within the wake of the breakout achievement, Manau produced their full-length record debut with Panique Celtique (1998), which topped the albums graph and spawned some follow-up singles like the chart-topping strike “Mais Qui Est la Belette?,” the very best Ten strike “Panique Celtique,” the very best 30 strike “L’Avenir Est el Long Moveé,” and the very best 40 strike “La Confession.” In 1999 the group earned a Victoires de la Musique prize for Rap Record of the entire year and found the departure of Lardic. Reduced to some primary duo, Manau started experimenting with a variety of rap designs on successive albums Fest Noz de Paname (2000) and On Peut Tous Rêver (2005), and even though these follow-up albums didn’t rival the achievement of the group’s debut work, they were pretty popular nonetheless.
