[sign autograph letter - French writer xixe - Bretagne]. To the head of the work of the right song.

Dear poet, I have read with interest your poetic fantasy; my very sincere congratulations and my deep regret that I cannot insert it in the right song; our young clientele wants only pieces containing only roles of men or only female roles... French song, Breton song folkloric, patriotic. Jean-baptist-theodore-marie botrel (born 14 September 1868 in Dinan). And died on 26 July 1925 at pont-aven, where he was buried, was a French singer-songwriter. He's the author of.

Originally from Upper Bretagne (the part of the Bretagne where one speaks Gallo, a Romanesque language), he learned Breton (speaking in Lower Bretagne) only late, and almost all of his work is in French.

The latter has taken up some of his grandfather's songs in the 2009 family airs recording. By the age of 16, he was part of an amateur theatre troupe where he played his first play dagger.

He also began writing a few songs and released his first print the little biniou at the age of 18. She had no success, as another biniou had already been released a few years earlier. At the same time, he tried several trades, including apprentice locksmith and confessed. He then enlisted for five years in the army and on his return worked as an office employee at the Lyon and Mediterranean betting railway company (plm).

Botrel belonged to the league of the French homeland, a moderate anti-dreyfusard league. But one night, in a famous Montmartre café-concert, the black cat, he replaces an absent singer. Botrel was inspired by the stone work loti fisherman of Islande for the theme of his song.

She remained in the repertoire of felix mayol until her death in 1941. One will notice that he sings "I love paimpol and its cliff", while at paimpol even there is no cliff.

In fact, botrel did not know paimpol when he created the song and would only come there once in 1897 for "the forgiveness of the Icelandics". By creating his song the red cholet handkerchief and singing it in this city in 1900, botrel inspired a patron-tender, leon maret, to create this handkerchief which became the symbol of the city. When the last cholet weaving was closed in 2004, the municipality bought a loom to weave the red handkerchief in the textile museum.
