René Abjean (born 22 November 1937)[1] is a French composer associated with Breton revivalist choral music.
Born in Brest, René Abjean made his début as a musician in the choir of Plouguerneau in 1953.
At age 17, he created his first vocal work as part of a choral group Ar Baganiz, a precursor of the Breton revivalism of An Triskell, for which he made many arrangements.
He regularly works with the Chœur d'Hommes Mouezh Paotred Breizh, created in 1993 by his friend Jean-Marie Airault.
His 2004 cantata for the male choir "Mouezh Paotred Breizh", Ce Pays vers la mer, Bro ar mor braz, this land and the sea was recorded in 2005 and distributed by Coop Breizh at Spézet.
