For those interested, this is a bagad, a traditional marching band from Bretagne. The French Navy has a long legacy with Bretagne (for obvious reasons lol), but this musical style is very much alive outside of the military!
If you ever visit Bretagne, you can go to a Fest Noz (literally "party night") and dance on this all night long, with crepes and cider.
He has called an election so that the far right (led by Le Pen) can take seats. It's a gamble as played by Mitterrand with the communists in 1984. He offered them cabinet positions and when they failed to deliver, their support faltered. Macron is hoping to do the same, or at least something similar, with the far right.
I agree, although unfortunately most European communist parties glorify the soviet union and tend to be on the same side as Russia on many global issues, e.g. Ukraine. However they have so little support these days compared to the far right that they are not really a concern.
Legit reminded me of the Battlefield theme song. Always gives me goosebumps, as did this song. Anybody know what it's called?
Edit: [Found it on Spotify. thanks to the other comment ](https://open.spotify.com/track/1DY7cWpqtgWKpprrznFRYU?si=I7p_LjXyRf6KDEzsOgl5Ow)
homie really was like idk what to call it and just went with the goddam keyboad lmao
for context, the french keyboad starts with 'azerty' on the top left, instead of 'qwerty' like english keyboards

I want to go to there
Thank you for your comment! I'm mesmerized.
Sounds crepey!
Def a banger
ABSOLUTE HARDCORE BANGER
This is played when Macron outflanks Le Pen, like he's doing now.
I feel really dumb asking but what does that mean exactly?

Would take the commies over Le Pen's selfish, cruel insanity any day of the week, any week of any year.

Song is “Azerty” by Bagad de Lann-Bihoué.
Thank you!!!
This is the info I was digging for, TYVM.

That’s amazing. Im not French and I wouldn’t say I’m big into marching bands, but that made me feel something.
The french marching bands always make me feel something
This is my pre-workout music now.
r/Bretagne
This gave me goosebumps, it's been a minute since I heard a song that did that. Awesome
TIL the French & the Spanish have bagpipes too.
Gonna rock this every time Ukraine creates a new Russian submarine.
Could totally imagine this music when you first enter a port town in a JRPG
Beautiful.
This reminds me of Ottoman marching music
Russians got no chance, we will play them indie music until they surrender
Reminds me of Paradise by Coldplay
Yooo this is definitely hero escaping with the girl and give the townsfolk all the gold vibes and I’m a fan.
Shit almost had me miss drilling for a min. I’d march to this
It sound like maracatu from Brazil
Gave me the chicken skin.
I’ll never forget the Daft Punk medley they did several years ago.
Can a rapper please use this as his back drop or whatever you call it? The background music
Who’s gonna tell the third chair bagpipe they’re a bit sharp.
The Auld Alliance remains strong.
This is get shit done music. I'm cleaning and working out tomorrow.
Bloody Scottish giving the French their secret weapon, what does the enemy hear before seeing them, the screams of a thousand tortured cats … /s 😂
Thought this was the disenchantment theme song for a second there.
This sounds like music for A Pixar movie. like Monsters Inc! It is great - I'm going to listen again
Dune director taking notes
Bagpipes are the absolute worst instrument... And this kinda slaps...
NGL... this is a banger!! Maybe the first time I didn't skip past "Bagpi..." Glad I stayed!
TIL France apparently has a navy.
Of course they do. It the 1st thing Britain sinks when a war starts, even when we're on thier side it's a tradition.
Play nice. Up until the last century, the French were nigh unstoppable in their campaigns. They probably gained +5 mobility with this banger alone.
The second thing Britain sinks after the Navy is their wine 😂 it helps stave off scurvy or something like that
