Krismenn & Alem

Surprising meeting of Breton rapper, slamper and singer Krismenna with Alem, beatbox world champion. Two a capella voices, a fast stream of words to the accompaniment of beatbox (percussion effects obtained using the human voice) gain unique power and emanate pulsing, encouraging dance energy. Clashing the hip-hop world with traditional Breton music, including its characteristic technique of singing 'kan ha diskan', is a bold and extremely successful artistic experiment. The Breton-inspired singing acquires a completely new sound and a new dimension. Voiced and rhythmic Breton language becomes more than ever brave.
