Trientale

Trientale is a French acoustic folk music band with Celtic, oriental and medieval inspirations. Based in Lyons (France), the band started playing in 2017. Trientale takes the listener into a musical journey beginning with the sweetness of a Trientale, a flower growing in the forests of Northern Europe, and extending into warm oriental lands.

Trientale's repertoire is infused with nature, myths and poetry. In a mystical and tribal atmosphere, the group stands out with their use of varied and unusual instruments such as a nyckelharpa, a didgeridoo or a Celtic harp. A violin, a cello, a guitar, vocals and drums are also part of this journey and this mix of instruments and styles creates a magical and captivating universe.

Trientale also offers an immersive stage performance: light effects bring spectators into a dreamlike atmosphere, the musicians are the actors of a magical and striking world, the instruments play melodies sounding like long forgotten tunes...

Trientale has played mainly in France, including twice at the “Tribal Elek” Didgeridoo Festival in 2022 and 2023. The group sometimes plays with FCBD®Style dancers thanks to the Amara Dance troupe. These dancers can be seen in the video clip from Trientale’s song “Echos” (scroll down to see).
