Courir Le Guilledou

Product Description:
MYRDHIN is one of the best harp players in Brittany. He knows how to rally gifted musicians around him, like Jean-Paul HUELLOU on Irish flute. His band was successful in Ireland, Germany, Switzerland and Belgium. "Courir Le Guilledou" was originally recorded in 1978. The Ethnea reissue now includes eight compositions performed by MYRDHIN himself: some of them are known under the name "La Ceinture Du Diable", and were intended as the sountrack of the eponymous movie directed by Yannick LETOQUEUX (1984). This musician currently plays with the group AFRO CELT SOUND SYSTEM. To be rediscovered !

Gentle, Melodic Celtic Harp.......2001-04-13

Myrdhin is a Breton harpist in the tradition of Alan Stivell. He mixes traditional Celtic melodies with modern arrangements and instrumentation. This CD contains music that he recorded back in the early 80's (and a few tunes from the late 70s). Mostly, it's just Myrdhin playing steel-strung harp and singing, backed by a bit of percussion, flute, and a few other instruments from the two other musicians who make up the "An Delen Dir" trio. Very pretty, very melodic, and quite folksy. I'm reminded a bit of Stivell's "Journee a la Maison". If you liked that (or other mellow stuff by Stivell), you'll probably like this.
