About Soldat Louis

Soldat Louis is a French musical group hailing from Lorient, formed in 1987. The name "Soldat Louis" is a reference to Captain Cook, who, during his voyages in Polynesia, had a loyal soldier in his service named Louis. The original lineup of the band included Renaud Detressan (vocals), Serge Danet (bass), Lionel Moisan (guitar), and Gary Wicknam (drums).

Musical Career:
Soldat Louis gained recognition through their music, which blends various genres such as French chanson, Celtic rock, and traditional Breton music. The group is particularly known for their maritime songs that evoke the sea, marine legends, and the lives of sailors.

Their first album, "Première bordée," was released in 1988 and enjoyed considerable success. The band has since released numerous albums, including "Auprès de ma bande" (1990), "Pavillon noir" (1993), and "Escales" (2000). Soldat Louis continued to produce music steeped in the maritime soul of Brittany, earning them a devoted fan base.

Influences:
Soldat Louis' influences are rooted in the maritime culture of Brittany, as well as in Celtic traditions and French chanson. They draw inspiration from maritime legends and sailors' stories, which is reflected in their lyrics. The band has successfully created a unique sound that blends these influences to form a distinctive musical style.

Musical Style:
Soldat Louis' musical style is an eclectic mix of French chanson, Celtic rock, and traditional Breton music. Their songs are often driven by catchy melodies and lyrics that evoke the sea, sailing, ports, and sea adventures.
