Biography
Eben is the compelling song of restored memories, the rising star of Brittany’s night parties, voices and strings telling present time stories.
Traditional singing, dance rhythms, and folk musics from around the globe form the inspirational base of EBEN’s celebration of Breton language’s poetry, cultural diversity, women stories and nature’s beauty.
The sextet was born in the Celtic Festival of Lorient in 2018 from the fusion of the two latest generations of the Breton traditional stage, both sharing the same passion for folklore and musical experimentation. The band’s first album released in 2019, portrays different minoritized groups through a repertoire of traditional, adapted lyrics and original songs, sublimated by the jazz, blues and folk influences of the strings.
EBEN’s different collaborations and experiences on local and international stages nurtured their newest album, DINASKAÑ (emancipation), which comes as an answer to the multiple injunctions of society to behave in a certain way.
