🎵 --- TANGHE - COUDROY ---🎵

A guitar and an accordion.
Two night birds to make you dance!
A folk dance filled with energy, finesse, and complicity with the dancers. A friendly and warm moment, with the freshness of spontaneity and the delight of well-crafted music that resonates.
When these two met for the first time in 2003 at a festival in Belgium, the jam session lasted all night.
Since then, they have been regularly heard playing concerts and folk dances at various festivals around traditional music and dances.
Their repertoire initially found a particular resonance in Breton music, to which they are both attached. After Martin's stay in Sweden, the duo's approach evolved to produce a folk dance deeply influenced by Nordic culture, immersing us in an original universe.
Over the course of the dances, the repertoire is pruned to keep only the main, the essential: the rhythm, the movement, and the pleasure in sharing!
