"Sylvain Barou, from Brittany is considered one of the best flute players of his generation. Playing mainly Irish and Breton music, Sylvain has played with Sualtam, David Pasquet, Guichen, Denez Prigent, Jacques Pellen-Celtic Procession, Gildas & JB Boclé, Dan Ar Braz, Soig Siberil, Yvan Cassar.. and has also been heard playing at some occasions with a few of the greatest names of Irish traditional music (Donal Lunny, Liz Carroll, John Doyle, Paddy Glackin…) he has been seen playing at some of the major festivals and venues of the genre such as Glasgow Celtic Connections, Festival Interceltique de Lorient, Festival de Cornouaille, Festival des Vieilles Charrues, Les Tombées de la Nuit, Transmusicales, Paléo Festival, Ennis Trad Festival, FMM Sines, Théatre de La Ville, Jazz à Vienne, Bercy, Stade de France, Musiques Nomades in Nouakchott, Tanger Festival, Dranouter Folk Fest, etc...
Today, Sylvain travels the world with the band Comas and with a new breton duo with guitar player Jean Charles Guichen (Ar Re Yaouank, PSG, celtic procession..), he is also part of a new exciting irish project called "Guidewires" with Padraig Rynne, Tola Custy and Paul Mc Sherry. Other forthcoming projects include a trio with Jacques Pellen and an original collaboration with bass player Alain Genty which will take on in 2009. He is also an active member of an indian fusion/pop group, Olli & The Bollywood Orchestra, indian music is a strong influence as he also plays the bansuri flute. (Olli & The B.O has released 2 albums, both mixed at Realworld studios.)
More recently, he has been also influenced by sufi music, from Turkey and Iran in particular, and likes to mix it with traditional breton music, he already made a project in that sense in 2005 inviting Istanbul oud player Smadj and tabla player Prabhu Edouard to play with breton musicians.
It may sound strange that he uses so different influences and traditions, but Sylvain managed to create a common language between all that , with a huge respect of each tradition."
