A popular Breton Drinking song sung in kan ha diskan style with a leader and a chorus.
Tony Snell, Cornish Bard Gwas Kevardhu, circulated a version of the Breton Drinking song “Son ar Chistr” to other Cornish speakers in 1975 and it has since become a popular song at Cornish singing sessions and aquired various versions of the lyrics.
Son Ar Chistr was popularised by Alan Stivell in the 1970s. click for youtube link
