Pop Plinn

Pop-Plinn is a traditional air of a Breton dance transformed into pop music by Alan Stivell.

The "Dañs Plinn" is a fast and physical dance where the dancer makes two small jumps by holding the arm of his neighbors.

Alan Stivell signed for a long time about a footbridge between these two worlds, the folk rock Anglo-Saxon music and the Breton-Celtic music.

For the first time, the world discovers the electric guitar playing the Breton traditional music arranged in a pop way and the Breton auditor becomes aware that its music can be modern and appreciated by the others.

By reaching a broad audience, after the passage of the artist in the mythical Parisian Olympia music hall on February 28, 1972, Pop Plinn upsets preconceived ideas, with an important distribution in France.
