A six-voice and percussion band is taking the stage at WOMAD this year!
Occitan* polyphony is the starting point for this collective as they embark on their search for universal folklore, rooted in their region’s deep troubadour traditions yet circulating between cultures and musical genres, to create harmonious and well-balanced rhythms combining poetry and mesmerising vocals.
* A Romance language spoken mostly in the South of France
