Kan ha diskan is probably the most common type of traditional music of Brittany. It is a vocal tradition (kan ha diskan translates from Breton as roughly call and response singing). The style is the most commonly used to accompany dances. It has become perhaps the most integral part of the Breton roots revival and was the first genre of Breton music to gain some mainstream success both in Brittany and abroad.The lead singer is the kaner and the second singer is the diskaner.
