Gérard Jaffrès
Gérard Jaffrès is a French singer, writer and performer.
He started playing the guitar at the age of 15, playing mostly folk repertoire and rock music. In 1973, he joined Burt Blanca's band. He stayed with it for 11 years as a bass player. The same year, he moved to Belgium, his current home.
Jaffrès started a solo career in 1985, recording ten discs with gramophone records. He has published a new album every two years since 1991.
Jaffrès' music is a blend of Celtic music and rock'n'roll/folk which he uses to depict the landscape of Brittany and tell legends from the area of Leon. His texts sometimes mix Breton and French.
