    poliphony

    I'd like to recommend Canta U Populu Corsu, L'Arcusgi and A Filetta, three important bands of corsican poliphony with a strong political ideology.

  • Petru Guelfucci

    Petru Guelfucci would be also interesting in this topic. He has five albums:

    - S'o chjodu l'occhji

    - Corsica

    - Isula

    - Memoria

    - Vita


    He is related to the group Canta U Populu Corsu
    His song Corsica has been covered by Alkistis Protopsalti.

    I would add a marginal note regarding I Muvrini, that you might delete if you think out-of-topic. Despite of singing in corsican, they are a controversial group in Corsica. There is some reluctance about them in the nationalist enviroment, and they are very often considered traitors.
