The "Scottish à Cheillé" event, which involves two traditional musicians, Nicolas Campin and Gabriel Bonnin.
This event is typically a traditional folk music and dance gathering, often a 'bal folk' or a similar cultural expression, held in or near Cheillé, a commune in the Indre-et-Loire department of France.
The Event and Style
Scottish: Refers to the Scottish dance, a popular type of European folk dance (like the polka or waltz), which is danced to a specific 4/4 or 2/4 meter.
Bal Folk: The event itself is likely a bal folk (folk dance) where participants dance to live music played by groups or musicians like Campin and Bonnin.
The Music: The music played by Nicolas Campin and Gabriel Bonnin would be French or European folk music, including tunes appropriate for the Scottish, waltzes, bourrées, gavottes, and other traditional dances.
The Musicians
Gabriel Bonnin: He is often associated with playing the accordion or diatonic accordion, a key instrument in bal folk music.
Nicolas Campin: He typically plays the fiddle or violin.
Together, they form a duo that performs lively, traditional music for folk dancing, creating a dynamic and engaging atmosphere for the dancers. Their performances are part of the vibrant bal folk scene, aiming to keep traditional French and European dances and music alive.
