NEw’ AMzer – Spring (clip – 2015)

First alone in his studio, then with a few traveling companions, Alan Stivell concocted this beautiful tribute to time, inspired by the rhythm of the seasons and poetry. The profound serenity that emanates from it is carried by a “sound design” where voices, strings, flutes and percussion are at the service of a contemplative music, between avant-folk and an innovative electronic approach. Immemorial past and modernity come together in this passing time, an amzer.

Beyond frontier, Stivell (2013)

On February 16, 2012, Alan Stivell returned to the Olympia stage. His career had exploded forty years earlier. A legendary concert, a success so sudden that no camera recorded it. The album “Stivell at the Olympia” sold a million and a half copies and was included on Rolling Stone’s list of “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” Alan’s music paved the way for successive trends in Celtic music. From Melbourne to Vancouver, from Glasgow to Cologne, from Turin to Dublin, the singer is today an icon of the genre. This film revisits, in the company of Alan Stivell, the passionate and exciting trajectory of an artist with a precocious vocation.

Olympia 2012

   

One evening in February 1972, the Olympia danced like never before! With his electric guitar, bardic harp, and Breton singing, Alan Stivell enthralled the audience and the listeners who were tuning in to the live broadcast on Europe 1. A true musical, cultural, and popular revolution, it remains one of the major events of the 1970s. To celebrate the fortieth anniversary of this historic date, Alan Stivell returned to the venue. Accompanied by numerous guests (Nolwenn Leroy, Joanne McIver, Dan Ar Braz, Robert Le Gall, Pat O’May, René Werneer, and the Bagad de Saint-Malo), the bard led the audience on a journey of bridges between tradition and rock, heritage music and improvisation, a cappella singing and electronic music. The CD-ROM, which brings together the best moments of this anniversary evening recorded on February 16, 2012, comes with the entire concert and a 2-hour 40-minute video program.

Pa sellit ba melezour gant ho sigaretenn

Pa lakait tan ba’ ar butun, tan tan lakaat tamm tan,
Aes eo merc’heta, keta, un hen ‘deus ar c’hentañ ?

Ha gwir ‘va brav ar plac’hig, speredek ha sexy,
An hen’ ha po kavet ho kemero ‘vit cowboy ?
Ken dall ha sot ‘el ar saout n’hen ho kemero ‘vit maout
Sur eo gwelloc’h kemer ‘noc’h el ar superden oc’h !
Efer ‘m eus chom en aer yac’h fri digor ha dinec’h

Breton lyrics are for a teenager who starts smoking.
Les paroles en breton s’adressent à un ado qui commence à fumer.
