   About Trouz Bras
Trouz Bras (pronounced "True Brazz") means "Great Sound" in the Celtic language of Brittany, the ancient country that now finds itself in the northwestern region of France. It also translates as "Big Noise" - a reference to the loud Breton bagpipes and bombard that make up the duo's driving sound.

Trouz Bras is a Sonerion (in Breton) or Sonneurs de Couple (in French). Barry Hall is the talabarder or bombard player and Ray Price is the biniaouer or biniou player. The project was formed by bagpiper and dance leader Ray, a native Welshman who has expanded his Celtic roots to become a global ambassador of Breton music and dance. Trouz Bras has performed their "Big Noise" at Celtic and dance festivals, workshops and cultural events of all sizes all over the USA, and remain the only "Sonerion" in the country. Audiences have marveled at their ancient, mezmerizing sound.

Brittany is a magical place of barren landscapes, megaliths, Celtic myths and legends and unique music and dance. Ray Price, who considers Brittany his second home, describes a tremendous recent renaissance of interest in the “Fest Noz” or Night Festival. “A ‘Fest Noz’ can have thousands of dancers at large, international festivals, or just a handful of local dancers in a far-flung village,” he says. “The music is driving, insistent and mesmerizing. The spiral and circle dances are performed by everyone from the very young to the very old.”

The musicians of Trouz Bras seek to introduce these ancient traditions to a modern American audience.
