I didn't realize they sounded so different. The Bretons were among the very first people to come to what is now St. John's, and they were the most populous people in the place when it was conquered by the British in 1583.

Traditional Breton song. Can't understand a word of it, but compare with these guys' version (Breton hip hop - yes, there's such a thing):
