Gentiane
Biography
Gentiane was founded in France in the early seventies by Jean Blanchard, Bernard Blanc, Emmanuelle Parrenin, Gerard Lavigne and Denis Gasser, names not unfamiliar to the fans of French music. They wanted something special: a record with traditional music from the Auvergne, but with unconvential and sophisticated arrangements. We know now what happened after this album was released: almost all of these tunes became classics, to be played by every bagpipe
