	Kemper Bagad
		It is obvious that such an undertaking succeeds only by a complete knowledge of the instruments, the group unity and an individual mastery of the performers which enabled the composers to create and to harmonize without being restrained by technical inadequacies.
		Such a success is due to the musical and technical mastery of each of the musicians of the three chapters which compose the formation, these three chapters are : the (bagpipes) cornemuses, the bombardes and the (drums) batterie.

	Bagad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		bagad is a Breton band, composed of bagpipes (Breton: biniou), bombardes and percussion (made up of snare, tenor and bass drums).
		A bagad plays mainly Breton music, but a bagad's music is evolutionary (new forms and musical ideas are experimented with at each annual national competition).
		The plural for bagad is unusual in that many are referred to as bagadoù but for two, three or any other specified number they are simply referred to as bagad (following the rules of Breton grammar).

	Matt Wehling : : Articles : : Letter from Brittany
		Not surprisingly, the bagad uses little additional amplification, for which we are all a bit thankful.
		With its umpteen bombards, drums, and highland bagpipes (and occasionally the Breton bagpipe, known as the binou), the bagads are impressive just for their raw power, as well as their ensemble skill.
		The first bagad was started as a way to preserve traditional music that was dying during the 1940s and ‘50s.

	Pipe band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bagads began in the thirties, to counter the widespread decay of the living Breton folk tradition.
		A popular bagad, Bagad Brieg, recently performed with the Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band and released a recording in 2002 entitled La Boum Ecosse, in which both the traditional pipe band and the bagad perform together.
		A modern-day bagad consists of a biniou braz (bagpipe), a bombarde section, a drum corps, perhaps more accurately described nowadays as a 'large and varied percussion section' (one band's percussionists lug around a huge metal model elephant), and any additional musical instruments the band wishes to add.

	Bagad de Lann-Bihoué [NH]: Classical CD Reviews- Sept 2002 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Unlike most Breton bagads, which are based around local communities, that of Lann-Bihoué is the pipe band of (and named after) the naval airbase in Lorient, southern Brittany (many highly talented musicians have been able to undertake their national service in this way!).
		Like the other bagads, however, it is a central stream of the musical lifeblood of France's Celtic outpost, appearing regularly at varied events, local, national and international (the excellent booklet - notes in French only though - documents its history, including numerous overseas visits).
		The bagad is a 20th-century creation that utilises Scottish pipes and drums alongside Breton bombardes (this has been described as a kind of rustic oboe or shawm), and creates a strong, resonant, and martial music for marching as well as for dancing.

	Living Tradition CD review of BAGAD KEMPER - Collection (CD & DVD)
		Bagad Kemper, the Quimper pipe band, has been at the top of the tree for two decades.
		Eliz Iza is the title track of Bagad Kemper's 1999 recording: it's a very old and well-known air used by Dan Ar Braz and others, but here it glides over a hypotic dance motif on the big Breton pipes.
		Fortunately, Bagad Kemper has an even bigger sound for the final track: Call to the Dance, one of the showpieces from Dan Ar Braz' Heritage des Celtes concert album.

	RFI Musique - - Biniou, bombarde and Bagad
		The bagad (plural: bagadoù) is a Breton orchestra made up of sonneurs (oboes and bagpipes) and batteurs (drums and percussion).
		Thanks to efforts by sonneurs, local composers and the stimulus of annual competitions, the quality of Brittany's bagadoù has greatly improved over the years and the region now boasts around 60 different formations (a third of which are professional).
		For a general introduction to the art of the bagad, try Coop Breizh's 1998 compilation which features highlights from the annual bagadoù championship in Brittany.

	BUREAU EXPORT - ARTIST
		Original Breton bands turn to traditional music from Brittany to build their repertoires, which is the same technique used by the Bagad Kemper, who themselves look towards this tradition for most musical inspiration.
		It is their open-minded spirit that has enabled the Bagad band to add new sounds to traditional pieces, tunes from different regions, to invite various foreign musicians to share the stage with them, or again to perform concerts abroad.
		The bagpipes, bombards and drums are joined by sounds of the accordion, the bass guitar, the trumpet, the saxophone and other brass instruments, giving the whole show a latin flavour.

	Celtic & Irish BAGAD KEMPER World Music at Global Rhythm - The Destination for World Music
		Celebrated nearly 20 times as Brittany's champions, Bagad Kemper is among the most popular, and eclectic, pipe ensembles throughout the world.
		Traditional Bretagne tunes are its backbone, certainly; it also commands attention for its spin on Irish, Basque, Yiddish and other genres not usually associated with massed pipes and drums.
		For instance, after a fleeting drum intro, Bagad Kemper launches into the Brazilian Jazz classic, "Mas Que Nada." This is followed by a tour-de-force modern arrangement of the traditional melody, "Ar Plac Manked." "Tournez les jupons," a European dance melody, also smokes.
