Spontus defends a new music to dance, an unbridled creativity that weaves the link between dancers and musicians.
A music which often takes off towards new sounds, but which always lands in a fest-noz (ball) when the violin and the guitar kan and diskan, or the accordion and the bass play the bombarde and the binioù.
Spontus has been dancing in the four corners of Brittany since 1996 and has invented a personal universe imbued with the style of the ancients, nourished by very pronounced references.
The group releases on stage an incredible complicity and a communicative energy, the fruit of a long-standing shared friendship.

CHRONICLES
​
"With this 5th album, Spontus asserts itself as one of the essential bands on the scene " music to dance " in Brittany and beyond its borders.
Gerard Viel, Trad Magazine
"For fans of Breton music, the irreverence of " Reloudeac " gold " With His Violin will raise a smile or perhaps a grimace. If you're not familiar with the Breton tradition, don't take An Huneour as a typical example: just enjoy the obvious skill and experience of these lads. The baroque sophistication of the mazurka Une Carrière Bien Filled, the stark melody of Tonton Jéjé, and the dissonances of Cowboy Pajamas all have their own appeal."
Alex Monaghan, Folkworld
"The precision of the instrumentalists, their ability to dialogue, to seize the interstices, to exploit the dissonances and modulations, to lead at the right tempo with this insight to carry out the work of harmony until the end on minor dances sometimes underestimated, make Spontus an inspired group, lively, festive and daring."
Dominique Le Guichaoua, Trad Magazine
