[RENEDU2]

vive les minorités

[Esclarmonde04]

je suis impressionnée par la voix magnifique et la présence de chanteur qui enchante son public sans artifice aucun, j'en avais des frissons !

[ledraig01]

typical muslim thief's who go on about their so called culture.when all they did is steal most of it from the Celts.

CYMRU AM BYTH

[SuperHomsi]

@ledraig01

You are so right ! Maybe the mayas stole their culture from celts too ? Who knows ?

You racist idiot.

[RammsteinFan1100]

damn i still love Denez what great song

[ju4nito]

Each time a language dissapears, the culture asociated with it dissapears too. The day the britons doesn't speak their language they'll become just another french colony. Visca els pobles! Llibertat per Catalunya.

[sksman71]

@ju4nito I dont think the Breton language will disappear.It's up to the younger people to learn and preserve whats left.

[RammsteinFan1100]

Breton language is from bretagnia how ever spells north west French

[mrgrenade991]

@RammsteinFan1100 britagnia means brittany and breton is spoken in brittany france

[anglojack]

Petore arzhour eo an aotroù Prijent !

[thedeadscientist]

j'aime beaucoup la musique et la cultur des Celtes.

[GEX1977]

N'est elle pas belle la langue de nos ancêtres? N'est il pas triste qu'un pays comme la france ne donne aucune légitimité à notre langue MATERNELLE, la langue de nos Anciens tant malheureusement à disparaître et ce pays qu'est la france ne fais rien pour contré celà aprés tout n'est ce pas les français qui par soucis d'orgueil interdisait à nos aïeuls de parler dans leurs langues, je suis BRETON avant d'être français et malheureusement j'assiste à la mort de notre patrimoine.

[lacunafan]

Si ils pouvaient organiser la St Patrick de 2011 au stade de France et non pas à Bercy comme ça l'a été cette année se serai une bonne chose...cette année les ^prix étaient exorbitant, et ya rien de plus dommage que de ne pas pouvoir fêter la "fête de tous les Celtes" juste pour une histoire d'argent...en plus qu'en on est Breton expatrié de la terre natal de ses Ancêtres...et on est nombreux à Paris à être issu de cette éxode...

[k56bzh]

Denez Prigent will give a concert the wednesday 21th of July 2010 in Quimper ( France)

[LanguageLuo]

MOUEZH (voice)

Marvellous. Great culture. The Celt have got very ancient poetry, verses and prose that are expressed by the VOICE so that all: nature, mountains, oceans and whole universe, may hear the message.

1. Voice is MOUEZH [mwe] in Brezhoneg. The ancients expressed poems and verses with their voices!

2. MOUEZHIAN [mweia] is to express in words.

Note: from around 600 A.D. onwards when Islam was born, the Muslim world took this art to their Mosques and they call it Muezin [mwezin].

[hairyhoff]

@LanguageLuo wow, how did the muslim world come to contact with celtic world? I know they came to spain but don't there are/were celts there? Or am I wrong?

[LanguageLuo]

@hairyhoff It's all very recent. For example, the word Mosque (Muski or Muskit in Arabic) is also referred to as Kanisa, Knisa or Knesset in Hebrew; the word Mosque was taken up by the Muslim after the Turks invaded eastern Europe and took Islam to the other end of the world. They took it from the name of the capital of Russia, MOSCOW with its DOME roofs. Indeed, Moscow's marvellous NAME and architecture was copied for building the future prayer houses for the new religion.

[hairyhoff]

@LanguageLuo Ah wow! Kanisa is now Arabic for just churches, but in Arabic the word for mosque is Jamaa (dunno how to write it in English maybe jam'a?) so I'm guessing mosque is the Turkish word for muslim place of worship as well as the english.

But to my original question how celtic patterns get taken up by the muslims? As in geographically where did they meet?

[LanguageLuo]

@hairyhoff Islamic architecture came into being during the 300 years when Spain was occupied by the Muslim conquerors. The Muslim rulers encouraged art in all forms by inviting various all artists and nations that were under the Roman Empire, to perform music and all.

What was behind the success of Muslim rule in Spain? Of course it was the Vatican. The Vatican had created and financed Islam in order to get new allied nations to help prevent the Roman Empire from breaking up.

[sksman71]

@LanguageLuo Wow very interesting.I never knew that the Celtic culture was that universal.

[SuperHomsi]

@LanguageLuo

I don't think MOUEZHIAN and the islamic MUEZZIN are related. Muezzin is the one who performs AZZAN which means "call". But, maybe Mouhammad knew Brezhoneg... (lol).

[gwirgalon]

@LanguageLuo a pleasure reading you! diolch yn fawr!

[garfgil]

brezhoneg. c'est trop beau

[zaaz369]

you can hear how the French was influenced by Breton.

[zaaz369]

oops I mean the French language.........

[WrSpectre]

you got right! especially the "R"

[betyoucantreadthis]

the language sounds, almost, middle eastern... its wonderful... even if it is French after all haha :)

[Valexandre]

It's not even related to French, it's a celtic language called Breton, Brezhoneg, it's somehwat close to Welsh.

[reymysterio02]

@Valexandre i'm breton origins

[ejr161]

@Valexandre it's fairly similar to welsh, but shares about 80% of its vocabulary with Kernewek (cornish) which is its closest relative :)

[sksman71]

@Valexandre its from the Brythonic languages.Welsh,Cornish and Breton

[Valexandre]

@sksman71 Yes. My grandmother's language. Mother's written papers about it, but she mentioned a Manx that would have been the closest relative. My great uncles always said they best understood Welsh. Not sure if they ever heard Cornish. Also, you have to remember that the Breton language is not as uniform as to necessarily fit under one name. Our family is from Menez-Du, the Black Mountain region. In the northern part of Breizh the language differs greatly.

[gwirgalon]

@Valexandre Actually, Manx is closer to the gaelic cousins' language, which had been mixed with Pict and other northern cultures..Brezhonneg comes,as said your greatuncles, from the original stem of the celtic languages, Brethoneg: Cymraeg(Welsh), Kernek (Cornish) are also of that branch.Eire, Alba (Scotland), Vannin or Manx, and Galicia speak the Gaelic that developed a bit later. Originally indo-european..heard a guy in a taxi speaking persian,and suddenly out popped a couple of Cymraeg words!

[chrisbreizh29]

POOr idiot breton come of your country, they are go in west of france when angle and saxon come. in fact, breton are celts like welsh, cornwall, scottland, ireland and galicia and ur ancestrors have stole our field.

[SIMONMEVANS]

sad song. About the hardships of seaweed collectors(Mezhinerien) in the old days

Better version was by the group Storlok

[zaaz369]

can you translate it for us please?

thanx

[gwirgalon]

@SIMONMEVANS No, it's different. Denez has a truly great tenor voice, strong and beautiful, moving..It's almost a challenge, his virility as he sings.. Siegfried in Brezhonneg, if you like.Storlock has a version that's quieter, more inner, but there is less Voice..it carries other feelings to the listener, also beautiful..

why would you need to compare? Why not enjoy the two in their own varied magnificences?The world is wide, and music is made to be deeply individual each time, why it takes us.

[swieczka123]

Fantastic voice. He is the best singer on the world

[LASERPENTA]

Great voice!

[Zeetana]

He's one of the best things that's ever happened to music. Beautiful!
