3. Danses Plinn | rond de Loudéac (trad. Brittany)

The danse Plinn is a Breton dance involving repetitive, energetic, two-footed hopping, and is a traditional form thought to have been used by villagers to tamp down the dirt floors of newly erected homes long ago. On this track we take a 'smoother' approach to these than what might be played for an actual dance. These tunes come to us from a variety of sources, including Storvan's An Deiziou Kaer (1996). The closing melody, originally a rond de Loudéac (another type of traditional Breton dance), was learned from le couple de sonneurs Pierre Catrou and Corentin Dauneau.
