Stille Volk

Stille Volk ("The Silent People" in Dutch and German) is a French folk band from the Pyrenees area of France formed in 1994. The band draws inspiration from Celtic and medieval music adorned with modern elements using instruments from all origins and all ages: hurdy-gurdy, arabic lute, violin, bouzouki, bagpipes, chalemie, mandolin, portable organ, bombarde, various flutes, and other stringed instruments.

The band signed with Holy Records after the demo "Ode Aux Lointains Souverains" (1995) which was very successful, and released its first album "Hantaoma" in 1997: this CD offers an acoustic music of traditional and medieval influence whose concept is based on Pyrenean mythology (pantheon, spirits, legends etc)
