[valjean1ful]

Les meilleurs sont les derniers a l'Eurovision !

[dminalba]

Celtic Nations forever and united Ireland, Scotland, Isle of Man, Wales, Cornwall & Brittany

[777Arky777]

Oh boy! I missed them completely on the Eurovision 1996, wasn't aware that they participated... They must have won!!! Simply stunning, fascinating music.

[Troisnyx]

@777Arky777: They were placed 18th out of 23, but I regret that a lot of very, very good songs in the Eurovision Song Contests have placed quite low. This is just one of them... :(

[arapukis]

don t look,just listen...

[arapukis]

wonderful....hypnotic.........­.

Pour ceux qui aime ecouter et découvrir de la veritable musique trad. bretonne, je vous invite à ecouter "Jenovefa Rustefan" de Marie Jan....Bien plus digeste que cette mayonnaise..(bien que j'aime Dan an braz)...Mais qu'en c'est pas bon il faut aussi le dire ...

[spacelau]

Je suis breton, aimant sa culture et Dan an braz ( entre autre), mais la, tres franchement c'est quoi cette mayonnaise celtico/irlandaise indigne de notre culture celte et bretonne .

Dan an Braz a fait largement mieux que cela Heureusement....

[Hadrien06100]

@annepascal29 un chaleureux bonjour de Nice à nos amis Bretons

[IRISHVERO]

BEVET BREIZH. BREIZH MA BRO <3.

[xamielxamiel]

Fabuleux! ca nous change un peu...

[Furienna]

Kudos to France for giving an otherwise almost unknown language some spotlight! It also made Switzerland (!) the only country that year to sing in French. But except for being in Breton (which only was the second time [and last time so far], that a country sent an entry in a Celtic language to the ESC), the song doesn't stand out too much, and I understand why it got such a low placing.

[OmEgAbLaStEr007]

ne pas gagné avec une telle merveuille

[fargeant]

je suis bien burgonde mais celte dans l'âme

[gladiateur1964]

Beved brezhoneg !!

[simonstallion]

thank you to the French government if this beautiful language Breton is now in decline, "the country of human rights"! this language was banned! straw. And they claim to want to teach tolerance, they should actually teach corruption. Cheers Brittany my one and only country

[gabrielperche1]

@simonstallion Perhaps you don`t know that in Rennes there is class in “ Breton“ and that this languge is more live than never. You should have better information source before saying anything..!

[simonstallion]

@gabrielperche1 and checks written in this language are declined, you also should know before you open it, the rest I have not asked your opinion

[GaeilgeSpraoi]

@simonstallion Yes it's truly terrible I agree. I speak Irish Gaelic fluently but despite it being official, there are so many problems trying to revive it and people's negative attitudes towards the language. I think in France, there's a profound problem with minority languages such as Breton, Basque, Corse, Occitan, etc. I'm studying in the Basque country in Spain and compared to the French side, they have so much more freedom here being an autonomous region and such. :/

[Hadrien06100]

@GaeilgeSpraoi Regional languages are taught in middle schools - it is true that there is a Basque problem but you know why… - The question which arises is: is it more useful to learn  Provençal or Alsatian that Italian or German ?? – As far as I am concerned, I learnt Provençal at school and sincerely that does not serve me in my every days life . It would have been more useful to teach me Spanish for instance. Regards

[GaeilgeSpraoi]

@Hadrien06100 Yeah that is the problem but on the flip side of the coin, many people who speak minority languages would like to create en environment to enable its survival. Take Catalan for instance, it was a language in decline a few decades ago and now it has become a flourishing language spoken by almost 10 million people. Even with Irish, although its revival hasn't been as successful, it has a high official status so one who speaks it, has many job opportunities in Ireland and the EU.

[Hadrien06100]

@GaeilgeSpraoi I do not know Ireland and what you say is very interesting. For other languages I do not know what is good. In France regional languages are taught - there are schools where all the lessons are in Breton for instance , but sincerely I am not convinced and I think that the pupils should learn English, German etc. We have not “strong minorities” like Catalonia and there is a “mixture” of population ( people from the north are now living in the south and vice versa)

[OmEgAbLaStEr007]

mon dieu que c beau des larmes me coule sur les joues

[OmEgAbLaStEr007]

mon dieu que c beau

[cmpFRANCE93]

oooooooh great like mama corsica :) but i think that's better completely in breton :D

[kakal41]

j'adore cette chanson et je suis très fière d 'être bretonne!

[eschouserussia]

great¡¡¡ , thats the only time that france has sing a song completely in a regional language? breton language is so cool

respect

[yannou17]

C'est beau. Je pense qu'à cette époque, le public n'était pas encore habitué à écouter ce genre de musique. Ils étaient à la 19ème place.

[Eurovisia]

This is a magnicifent entry, so beautiful. To good for the contest.

[acsalp]

tiens on voit douste à 1:06

[OmEgAbLaStEr007]

olala les frisons

[eschouserussia]

@OmEgAbLaStEr007 les bretons :)

[bnkr6211]

One of the most underrated Eurovision entries.  Such a beautiful song, deserved a much higher score!

[neacht]

This was on Eurovsion ??! Karen Matheson?!! And it's Ronan Browne on the pipes BTW.

[nufnuf13]

magnifique ....! ! !

a la cornemuse irlandaise ce n'est pas davy spillane ?

[NBdweller]

Non, c'est Ronan le Bars.

[bachelard82]

comme on dit en bretagne,

ca vaut pas un coup de cidre !!!

[Haihdutin]

(almost) all countries had bad songs at 90's and beginning of 00's

[klarinetta]

Sorry guys but in my books this is as bad as The Voice. Terrible Enya like trash

[Chrystalday]

C'était trop intelligent pour cette merde d'Eurovison. Chanson fantastique, mais allez faire comprendre ça à des crétins..?

Impossible.

[zokoko32]

@Chrystalday

C'est simple, c'est dans un contexte anti-français que s'est déroulé cet eurovision.

La raison ? Les essais nucléaires... On assistait à pas mal de boycott à cause de cela..., je crois me souvenir que P.Brosnan avait refusé d'être présent en France à l'occasion de l'avant première son dernier J.Bond (à titre d'exemple).

Minable...

[zokoko32]

je rajoute que cette chanson fut de loin l'une des meilleures pour la France à l'eurovision . (A l'époque elle aurait du briser l'hégémonie irlandaise ^_^)

les commentaires de certains Français m'avaient marqué... (comme : "ça représente la France çà ?"). comme quoi c'est dur d'être breton encore aujourd'hui alors qu'est-ce que ça doit être pour des personnes d'autres horizons...

Unan a shom ar spered !

[eschouserussia]

@zokoko32 it seems you are proud of being french and breton :D, do the comentaries against the song were because they were sing in breton?

[badapouich]

Breiz Atao!

[AndrewUK1987]

This is a beautiful song. Perfect performance from Karen Mattheson - as always. She is a wonderful singer. I love Capercaillie's songs, especially "Breisleach".

[tristanger]

"Diwanit bugale" war nach "Hallelujah" (1979) und "Eloise" (1993) aber vor "Den vilda" (1996) mein ESC-Lieblingslied.

[Darodh]

oh que c'est beau !

Et je ne suis meme pas Celte, je suis Aveyronais !!

[eschouserussia]

@Darodh et ou est aveyron? je suis russe, je ne pas conaissez :)

[Darodh]

@eschouserussia

C'est le Centre Sud de la France , Rodez. Priviet !=)

[DeCrac]

@Darodh

Mais si vous êtes Celte, comme presque toute l'Europe... Les Gaulois étaient des Celtes.

[Imamonarchist]

Wow. Beautiful. Deserved top 10, in my opinion. Also notable as the only Breton language entry ever entered at Eurovision, as well as being the only French entry not to contain a single word of French in it. Also the second and last entry in a Celtic language (the first was Ireland's Ceol an Ghra in 1972). Interestingly enough, when it was entered, it ended up as the worst-performing French entry in Eurovision history. That was TOTALLY undeserved, IMO.

[tokuanimecitvguy]

Yep. I've got a funny story. I went to Brittany once,and in an attempt to get me to embrace foreign languages my sister's husband told me the story of when Bretons had to have the thing on their neck. That backfired on him because I didn't think "I like the French now",I thought "So why aren't they speaking Breton here?!"

[hanterkant]

Brav, brav, ha kalon kre~nv evit hor yezh !

[Holgerstefanhart]

By far too good for any eurovision song context. That was the wrong stage for these wonderful musicians!

[simgreen84]

What!!! you must be having a laugh!!

[tokuanimecitvguy]

Eurovision is good but I do agree that the good songs never win. Look up Petr Elfimov's Eyes that never Lie. It's so cool.

[Jeremiemf]

you're right, not all songs are to be performed in ESC, whatever their quality is...

[eschouserussia]

@Holgerstefanhart that's because you don't like eurovision , if you don't like eurovision, don't coment, if you don't like the song, told it, but not criticize the contest

[tokutom]

@Holgerstefanhart While I agree that they should be more famous,it is the more cultured people that watch Eurovision. There's as many good songs as there is bad songs.
