Tarentule

Et la guitare. Les membres de Tarentule ont form par la suite le groupe TARAF (Musique des Balkans) alors que Bernard LASBLEIZ, un des meilleurs accordonistes bretons, cr TI JAZ (Musique bretonne) clbre groupe breton. Grce la richesse de ses arrangements, cet album ponyme est toujours d'actualit. A folk quartet formed in 74, Tarentule exploited the traditional pre-classical folk vein in a stricter observance of the traditions than Malicorne ever did, although some of their instruments are a little unusual for that type of music (cornet). The group toured the folk scene before recording their sole self-titled album in April 77, the album being released later that year, but it will not change the group's popularity and actually divide it into a folk-ball unit, much to the displeasure of Bernard Lasbleiz. The group will part (end of 78) into two different groups, Lasbleiz founding Ti Jaz in Paris, while the other three will develop Eastern European folk music in Taraf. Their sole album received a re-issue on the Musea sub-label Ethnea.
