Jean-Louis ar Rolland

Jean-Louis ar Rolland (last name also Rolland or Le Rolland; 8 October 1904 - 9 July 1985 ) was a Breton writer, notable for having remembered, and then written down, the stories he had been told during his childhood and after, traditional oral tales in the poetic gwerz tradition. Two of his collections were published, in Breton; he is hailed as one of the last of the Breton singers of traditional poetry. Yann-Fañch Kemener recorded a version of Rolland's Gwerz Skolan in 1979; it was released on CD in 1996.
