For our special Brittany month, discover one of the most extraordinary artist Brittany has to offer: Cécile Corbel
Musician, singer and songwriter, Cécile was born at the west end of Brittany. This is where she discovered the celtic harp, as a teenager. Since then, she has kept a strong link with her native region - an everlasting source of creativity. Inspired by Celtic traditional music from Brittany and abroad, she discovers composition, mainly focused on harp and vocals.
Cécile is inspired by tales, ancient melodies and fairy moods – which are the bases of her musical world.
In 2010 she wrote and recorded the original soundtrack for the movie "Arrietty", which was a big success in Japan and in other countries. This soundtrack earned the "Soundtrack Album of the year" award and a "Golden Disc Award" in Japan.
In May 2011, she releases "Songbook vol. 3 - Renaissance", a more acoustic album, going back to her sources of inspiration, in a continued exploration of her pop-folk musical world, always inspired by the celtic culture, somewhat with an Oriental touch.
