Gascony is a region of France that has produced several well-known performers and composers of classical, folk and popular music. Gascony is home to several major music festivals. In modern days, the town of Merciac is home to an annual jazz festival, one of the biggest in France. The town of Mirande is also home to an annual festival (Le Country Musique), devoted to country music. ==Folk music== Gascon folk music is known for a kind of small pipes called ''boha'', which have a rectangular chanter and drone combination, (this form is unique to Gascony), and are made out of sheepskin with the fleece showing. The wandering performers known as troubadours and jongleurs were well established in Gascony. Gascony, like many regions of France, and elsewhere in Europe, underwent a roots revival in the early to mid-1970s. The beginning of this trend in Gacony can be traced to the release of ''Musique Traditionelle de Gascogne'' by Perlinpinpin Folc, a band formed in 1972 and led by Christian Lamau. Some twenty years late, this revival continued with the repopularization of pastorales, an ancient form of musical theater. There is also a modern style, inspired by the jongleurs and troubadours of the region's history, called rappadoc, which uses various lyrical styles in satirical and topical performance. Modern traditionally-styled bands from Gascony include Verd e Bleu. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Music of Gascony」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
