Kastarvat (Breton Folk Dance)

This time I made collaboration with talented musician Arthur. @user-kr8zm5sk7c He makes covers on various ethnic instruments: talkharpa, kravik-lira, bouzouki. His play covers game soundtracks and contemporary folk artists and beyond. In his interpretations, he tries to recreate an authentic medieval acoustic sound. Breton (or Hungarian or Irish, I haven’t decided yet) dance. Very little is known about it: when dance appeared is unknown (probably somewhere between the 18th and 20th centuries), and the place of appearance is still disputed. However, this does not prevent him from being an extremely popular dance at modern folk balls and games. At balls, it is often complicated by breaking the line of dance. At some point, one of the participants in the chain can let go of the partner’s hand and become the beginning of the second line. And thus, at the end of the dance, the resulting columns are rarely similar to those with which the dance began.
