“Les Débarqués” (“the disembarked / landed” in English) is composed of four musicians from different backgrounds who found themselves around a style inspired by “folk” music, traditional (Irish) music, sailors’ song and songs of the sea, (many written by Michel Tonnerre). 

The group also produces a blog that may be found here.

Curated History

Note: The group often goes by the title, “Les Débarqués, Chants du Voyage, de la mer et des Marins” to avoid confusion with an Association of active young people in Saint-Nazaire of the same name.
