  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).

The bagad was founded in August 1952 and officialized on 11 September 1956 by a Decree of the Minister of National Defense.
The first informal bagad was constituted in 1947 in the 71st Infantry Regiment, stationed in Dinan (Ille-et-Vilaine), when several pipers met during their compulsory service.
Bagad Kemper and its three successive penn soner, Hervé Le Meur, Erwan Ropars and Jean-Louis Hénaff have enlarged the Breton repertoire by creating pieces based for instance on Bulgarian and Greek dances, as well as an adaptation of Changes by the defunct rock band Yes.

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.

This is what one is likely to read about the Bagad Kemper — the Breton pipe band from Quimper, west of France - since we all have the need to pigeonhole and categorize.
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.

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.

The undisputed premier-league leaders of Brittany’s pipe-band scene - having won its national championships a record-breaking 18 times - Bagad Kemper have also broken new ground in cross-fertilizing Breton traditions with other musical styles.
Adapting classical orchestration techniques, together with rock elements, their pioneering original compositions have boldly taken massed bagpipes, bombardes and drums where none have gone before.
In 2006 they presented a new program with bagpipes, bombardes and drums joined by sounds of the accordion, the bass guitar, the trumpet, the saxophone and other brass instruments, giving the whole show a Latin flavor.
