KYALDAN - Breiz . 1978 . France . Arfolk - SB 377 .
Kyaldan was a Contemporary Folk Rock band based in Lorient Brittany, France during the late 1970’s. It was made up of four members of the Samson family vocalists Christine Samson and Danielle Samson, singer/guitarist/songwriter Alain Samson and singer/dulcimer player Yannick Samson. They had been involved with other bands prior to forming Kyaldan- Christine and Danielle had featured in the all-female band Merhed an Oriant while Alain Samson had been in the band Tud An Arvur and also had contributed material to Merhed an Oriant’s album Folk Celtic issued by Vogue Records in 1975. Vocally the full bodied female/male harmony style is strongly in evidence and backed up by acoustic guitar and dulcimer. When placed with a full backing band the results were remarkable.
