She could have been the girl from Tri Martolod, a traditional Breton song about three sailors who anchor at a shore and all fall in love with the same woman. Songs sung in Breton, she recalls memories of her heritage, a French heritage, a piece of European history revisited and remembered. She tells us stories like Mna na h-Eireann a tribute song with Gaelic lyrics written in the 18th Century for Irish women who fought along men for the independence of their country.
Intelligent with a voice like an angel and a heart for unusual things, Nolwenn Leroy managed to bring something different to the table in a commercial driven generation where going against currents and reinvention is never evident.
