Various Artists: Corse (2003)

Here is a nice selection of Corsican recorded music. Most of these artists are not strictly polyphonic groups, at least not any more, since they don’t sing a capella traditional Corsican polyphony. Some of them, by the way, like Petru Guelfucci, still have their roots in Corsican polyphony, notwithstanding their musical evolvement. Those who do not innovate and develop their singing are likely to leave Corsican polyphony as a museum piece. But here you’ll find also valses bastiaises and monodic secular songs, instrumental tracks, modern songwriting etc. from l’ile de beauté (To learn more about traditional Corsican music click here).
