The group was formed in 1992 by Jean-Pierre Riou (vocals, guitars), Jean-Michel Moal (accordion) and Ian Proërer (drums). With the departure of the latter in 2001, Manu Masko became the drummer. He left in 2015. In 2011, the band added Mathieu Péquériau (harmonica, washboard) as a new member, some months before Jean-Michel Moal had to take a break from the group due to health problems. He returned in 2015. From 2012 to 2015, the band was joined on stage by two additional musicians : Ronan Le Bars (bagpipes, whistles), ([Dan Ar Braz](/source/Dan_Ar_Braz) / [Héritage des Celtes](/source/H%C3%A9ritage_des_Celtes)) and Pierre Stéphan (fiddle), and had a joint show with [Bagad Kemper](/source/Bagad_Kemper). During that same time period, the five band members were involved in [The Celtic Social Club](/source/The_Celtic_Social_Club), alongside [Jimme O'Neill](/source/Jimme_O'Neill), leader of ([The Silencers](/source/The_Silencers_(band))) and bassman Richard Puaud. In December 2015, Jean-Pierre Riou and Jean-Michel Moal, the 1992 co-founders of the group, joined forces again after four years of separation. In this new collective, they are accompanied by the multi-instrumentalist Pierre Sangra, partner of the band since the album ''Naître'', and drummer Hibu Corbel. They are considered by music critics to be one of the best Breton bands of this time, in the footsteps of [Alan Stivell](/source/Alan_Stivell) and [Dan Ar Braz](/source/Dan_Ar_Braz), precursors of the Celtic wave of the 1970s, having learned to combine rock and contemporary music with traditional music. ==Biography== Red Cardell, one of the most famous bands from [Brittany](/source/Brittany),[https://web.archive.org/web/20070219075039/http://prixdudisque.blogs.letelegramme.com/archive/2007/02/08/edition-2006.html] {{Cite web|url=http://www.produitenbretagne.com/Red_Cardell-1867-0-0-0.html|title=Grand Prix du Disque Produit en Bretagne 2009|website=Produitenbretagne.com|access-date=9 March 2023}}{{cite web|url=http://culturebox.francetvinfo.fr/red-cardell-pilier-du-rock-celtique-en-piste-pour-le-12eme-album-20533|title=Red Cardell, pilier du rock celtique, en piste pour le 12ème album|date=8 December 2009|work=Culturebox.francetvinfo.fr|access-date=26 May 2016}} (the [peninsula](/source/peninsula) of [Celtic identity](/source/Celtic_identity) in north-western France), is essentially a live band.

It is these rich influences that follow the specific Jean-Pierre Riou poetic, turn to melancholy. They define themselves as a popular music band open to the world. Besides their collaboration with French, Breton, Berber and Ukrainian musicians, they also have performed with British or American musicians, either on records or live.

As an independent rock band from their beginnings, Red Cardell released their first album ''Rouge'' in 1993, followed by a nonstop tour for several years, sharing the stage with [Doctor Feelgood](/source/Dr._Feelgood_(band)), [The Fleshtones](/source/The_Fleshtones), [Noir Désir](/source/Noir_D%C3%A9sir) and La Mano Negra [Manu Chao](/source/Manu_Chao) orchestra. In 1999, hundreds of concerts and three albums later, the new tracks of ''Rock'n roll Comédie'' are recorded in Belgium with former [Black Sabbath](/source/Black_Sabbath) producer/engineer Mike Butcher at the helm, also known for his work with [Marvin Gaye](/source/Marvin_Gaye). In the period of the three albums ''Naître'' (''Be Born'', 2006), ''Le Banquet de cristal'' (''The Crystal Banquet'', 2008) and ''La Fête au Village'' (''The Party in the Village'', 2009) Red Cardell recorded and performed on stage with many guests including [Dan Ar Braz](/source/Dan_Ar_Braz), [Miossec](/source/Miossec), [Yann Tiersen](/source/Yann_Tiersen) or [Thomas Fersen](/source/Thomas_Fersen)."Bal à l'Ouest", ''Celtic Music for Dummies'', 2009, p. 26 Along with [Oleg Skripka](/source/Oleg_Skripka) (singer of [Vopli Vidopliassova](/source/Vopli_Vidopliassova) and icon of the [Orange Revolution](/source/Orange_Revolution)) and Gourtopravci, a female traditional vocal choir, they regularly travelled across Ukraine for concert tours from [Kharkiv](/source/Kharkiv) to [Donetsk](/source/Donetsk), [Lviv](/source/Lviv) or [Yalta](/source/Yalta) and several times in [Kyiv](/source/Kyiv) with two exceptional performances for [Kraina Mriy](/source/w%3Auk%3A%D0%9A%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%97%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%9C%D1%80%D1%96%D0%B9_(%D1%84%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C)) festival, in front of tens of thousands of spectators at [Maidan independence square](/source/Maidan_Nezalezhnosti). In 2010, their album ''Soleil Blanc'' ("White sun"){{cite web|url=http://touteslesmusiquesquejaime.over-blog.com/article-ein-41164503.html|title=Red Cardell : soleils levants|website=Touteslesmusiquesquejaime.over-blog.com|access-date=26 May 2016}} is recorded and mixed by the English producer Clive Martin[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUDozjWsDJY]{{cbignore}}{{Dead Youtube links|date=February 2022}} (who has worked with famous artists such as [Queen](/source/Queen_(band)), [Sting](/source/Sting_(musician)), [David Byrne](/source/David_Byrne)) and co-produced by the French musician Stéfane Mellino, singer and guitarist of [Les Négresses Vertes](/source/Les_N%C3%A9gresses_Vertes). On this album which shows a more folk and blues trend and also flirts with [Zydeco](/source/Zydeco), [Rockabilly](/source/Rockabilly) or [Charleston](/source/Charleston_(dance)), the band is supported by the Michel Delage brass section. The song ''Comme une pierre qui roule'' is a tribute to [Bob Dylan](/source/Bob_Dylan)'s ''Like a Rolling Stone'' and the song ''[Robert Johnson](/source/Robert_Johnson)'' to the American blues singer and guitarist. In Spring 2012, their album ''Falling in love'', recorded in France, was mixed in New York City by the American sound engineer ''Ariel Borujow'' ([Black Eyed Peas](/source/Black_Eyed_Peas), [Madonna](/source/Madonna_(entertainer)), [Just Blaze](/source/Just_Blaze)) at Stadium Red studio in Harlem. The album was awarded as best progressive edge album of the Year by the Indie acoustic project (USA), in 2013. In 2014, with the ''Fest-rock'' show, they represented Brittany alongside [Bagad Kemper](/source/Bagad_Kemper) (the most-titled bagad of the Breton [pipe bands](/source/pipe_bands) national championship) for ''La Nuit de la Bretagne'' ("The Brittany Night") French tour, including a date at [Bercy Arena](/source/Palais_Omnisports_de_Paris-Bercy) in Paris. In April, they announced their participation as the new creation of the [Festival des Vieilles Charrues](/source/Festival_des_Vieilles_Charrues) (The biggest in France) for its 2014 edition : [The Celtic Social Club](/source/The_Celtic_Social_Club), a [supergroup](/source/Supergroup_(music)) of seven Breton musicians and others, which includes [Jimme O'Neill](/source/Jimme_O'Neill) ([The Silencers](/source/The_Silencers_(band))), Ronan Le Bars ([Héritage des Celtes](/source/H%C3%A9ritage_des_Celtes)) and the three members of Red Cardell. Within the new band they recorded their first album released in June. We also see Red Cardell in July on the other side of [Pyrénées](/source/Pyr%C3%A9n%C3%A9es) on the stage of the main Celtic festival of Spain in Ortigueira in [Galicia](/source/Galicia_(Spain)) and December 31 in [Cyprus](/source/Cyprus) to end the year. In February 2015, they began a French tour within The Celtic Social Club and also announced venues in Germany ([TFF Rudolstadt](/source/TFF_Rudolstadt)), Switzerland (the [Geneva](/source/Geneva) Celebrations) and three gigs in New York City, invited by the association of Breton diaspora of [Big Apple](/source/Big_Apple) to celebrate the Feast of [Saint-Yves](/source/Ivo_of_Kermartin), National Day of Brittany. In early October 2015, Manu Masko announced his departure from Red Cardell. A few days later Jean-Pierre Riou precisely continue the adventure and announces a new album for March 2016 co-authored with Jean-Michel Moal. Jean-Pierre Riou and Jean-Michel Moal, co-founders of the group in 1992, meet again after four years of separation. They are accompanied for this new formation by multi-instrumentalist Pierre Sangra ([Thomas Fersen](/source/Thomas_Fersen)), a partner since the album ''Naître'' in 2006, and drummer Hibu Corbel (Robin Foster, [Alexis HK](/source/Alexis_HK)). ==Current members== * Jean-Pierre Riou (lead vocals, guitars, mandolin, banjo, bombards, harmonica) (1992–present) * Jean-Michel Moal (accordion) (1992–2011 / 2015–present) * Pierre Sangra (fiddle, guitars, mandolin, banjo and backing vocals) (2015–present) * Hibu Corbel (drums, percussions, samples and backing vocals) (2015–present) Jean-Pierre Riou avec Fest-Rock.JPG|{{center|Jean-Pierre Riou}} Jean-Michel Moal.jpg|{{center|Jean-Michel Moal}} Hibu Corbel - 1 - Red Cardell.jpg|{{center|Hibu Corbel}} FIL 2014 - Red Cardell Fest-Rock concert - 1747.JPG|{{center|Pierre Sangra}} ==Additional members on stage== * Pierre Stéphan (fiddle) (2011–2015) * Ronan le Bars (great Highland bagpipe, Uilleann pipes, tin and low whistle) (2012–2015) ==Former members== * Manu Masko (drums, percussions, Keyboards, Samples, loops and backing vocals) (2001–2015) * Mathieu Péquériau (harmonica, washboard, percussions, and backing vocals) (2011–2015) * Ian Proërer (drums) (1992–2001) * Patrick Goyat (bass) (1992–1994) * Christophe Poignant (bass) (1992) Manu Masko.jpg|Manu Masko FIL 2014 - Red Cardell Fest-Rock concert - 1803.JPG|Mathieu Péquériau Ian Proerer.jpg|Ian Proërer ==Timeline==
