Page "Celtic music" Paragraph 43

Outside of America, the first deliberate attempts to create a " Pan-Celtic music " were made by the Breton Taldir Jaffrennou, having translated songs from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales into Breton between the two world wars.

One of his major works was to bring " Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau " ( the Welsh national anthem ) back in Brittany and create lyrics in Breton.

Eventually this song became " Bro goz va zadoù " (" Old land of my fathers ") and is the most widely accepted Breton anthem.

In the 70s, the Breton Alan Cochevelou ( future Alan Stivell ) began playing a mixed repertoire from the main Celtic countries on the Celtic harp his father created.
