Cap Ouest

Cap Ouest brings together a crew of four musicians-singers including the Fécampois Laurent Barray, founder of the group Marée de Paradis, and two other members of this sea shanties group which is a reference in France. In line with this, Cap Ouest offers a concert of colorful Normandy sea shanties which, through its presentations, its anecdotes, its songs supported by the instruments, tells the hard life of sailors, their work, their environment.

Based on collections and publications on the repertoire of Norman sailors, the singers introduce the richness and diversity of the regional maritime repertoire: songs to haul, turn or hoist, songs from Terre-Neuvas Fécampois, Cap -Horniers, whalers from Le Havre, sea shanties from Dieppois, etc.
