Kendalc'h (in Breton, literally "preservation" or continuity), is a confederacy of Celtic circles formed late 1950 in Quimper (Brittany). Kendalc'h promotes the Breton culture by means of the popular arts, based on eight radiuses of action: dance, costume, stage, street, youth, formation, music and publishing.lan Pierre and Daniel Cario (pref.
