Marthe Vassalo

Marthe Vassalo (1974) is a traditional singer and appears known of the Breton Culture.

It starts to sing in the festoù-noz and taken care in the Années 1990. Its course falls under a double will of training and respect of the traditional knowledge (in contact with the other singers and through the study of collectings), and of opening to all the experiments.

In 1997, it gives whole priority to the song and the scene: lyric song, fest-noz, unslung scenic experimentation. It also continues to occur has cappella (only or with Nolùen Buhé).

It forms also part of two groups of Breton music: Loened Fall and Bugel Koar.

Personal attacks

Affirming to be victim of a smear campaign in 2000, it denies these attacks in an opinion column of the weekly magazine Trégor of the August 17th 2000.

the rumor lends to me, these last times, of the intentions of “scandalmongering campaign” and “to seek to reach” certain Breton militant associations. The remarks which return to me to the ears and which one allotted to me being denatured even invented, several developments are essential: I declared this day that I did not distinguish an attack without victim from an attack with victim because since a bomb is placed one can be certain only nobody more is not there at the bad time; and finally, that I withdrew my support for any organization which would not condemn the use of violence.
