We want to “unite the tribe”. Together, we are dynamite! success of the extreme right? Where does this frustration and the desire to recreate a romanticized past that never really existed come from? In fact, apart from inbreeding, the extreme right has nothing to offer. The success of the extreme right is due to the incompetence of political parties in general. Politicians only think about their personal interests and their career plans. We defend the self-management of the people for a real associative and voluntary policy, managed by collectives and not leaders. We sing for an independent, fair, united Brittany, respectful of “Mamm Douar” (Mother Earth), libertarian and mixed. Another element of your music is the surprising choice of instruments. There is a guitar, but there are also traditional instruments, and then, to confuse people even more, you also use electronic rhythms. How did you arrive at this original sound? Les Ramoneurs de Menhirs are a total fusion between traditional Breton music and Punk-Rock. The obvious link between the two is the spirit of insubordination. Originality is the result of the mixture of the two, which generates a very beautiful osmosis. On one side, we have Loran with his guitar and his old drum machine who sings in French, and on the other the historical channel with the couple of sonneurs, bombardes and binioù and the songs in Breton. The originality of a group is essential. One of the primordial ideas of the - 19 - spirit of Punk-Rock is nonconformism. The presence of the drum machine of course takes us to your past in Bérurier Noir. What is, in your opinion, the main difference between the Punk scene of the 80s and the contemporary scene? The difference is obvious. The spaces of freedom are melting like the ice floes. Do you see a renaissance of Punk or anarchist groups in France? There are countries where the scene is rising, lit by a new wave of young anti-patriarchals. Do you also see these people at the Ramoneurs concerts? If the songs of groups like Bérurier Noir are still, or even more, relevant, it is because unfortunately we are totally regressing. We are only a handful left, but we exist and we resist… The Anarchists. Finally, do you have any advice for young musicians or alternative groups who do not have your experience and who have yet to discover how it works in the world of music? Light the fire of your passions… it is up to the youth to create the world of music, not the major companies… Long live Free Rock! Malcolm NIX www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be
