Gabiers du Passage perform a maritime repertoire in Concarneau as part of the Festival des Vieilles Coques. Their songs draw on the working music once used aboard tall ships, while also including contemporary compositions and French and Breton songs tied to the sea, voyages and port life. The concert situates music inside a broader maritime event, making the performance part of a living harbor culture rather than a nostalgic recital.
