. Polyphonic & Monodic Singing from Corsica : This has been my entrance point into the world of traditional music. I grew up in a village in which singing had stopped and I only had vague memories. From 2006 onwards I went back to the Island but not anymore with the only purpose of visiting my family. I went to learn, record, interview singers, musicians, poets… any one who was willing to share with me his/her love for music. I learned songs in kitchens, churches, in the bush… and finally I understood more the Granit Island of my ancestors. In 2013 I initiated the collective cowbirds and we started to perform traditional polyphonic songs within the contemporary performance scene. confronting different languages, harmonies, ways of relating to artistic practice, to the collective, to the here and now…I also sing monodies; complains and lullabies…
