A FILETTA
Voir le documentaire sur France 3 Corse


Le groupe balanin a fêté ses 30 ans. En 2009, ils ont porté la voix de la Corse aux quatre coins du monde. L'annéee qui débute s'annonce aussi riche en voyages, avec notamment une création au Japon. Et la sortie de deux albums.
Jean-Claude Acquaviva seconda - Paul Giansily terza - Jean-Luc Geronimi seconda - José Filippi bassu - Jean Sicurani bassu - Joseph 'Cecce' Aquaviva bassu - Maxime Vuillamier bassu

A Filetta, born in 1978 in the Balagne, has its roots deep in the Corsican soil and are on top of the art of polyphony. Unlimited talent, a piercing vocal sensitivity and an overwhelming emotional fervor are the trademarks of A Filetta magic. No one leaves their concerts unmoved.

No wonder that the filmmaker Bruno Coulais has called on A Filetta many times to produce music for his films. Beginning with Coulais’ Don Juan, the group has interpreted the scores for his 'Himalaya', which won a Disque d'Or and a César in 2000 for the best film score, and the BO of Akhénaton’s film 'Comme un aimant and 'Le Peuple Migrateur' by Jacques Perrin.

A Filetta has a powerful vocal style. For over twenty five years, Jean-Claude Acquaviva’s leading Corsican Polyphonies band has been singing songs of praise to its land. Of these songs, no one knows the exact origin: the island’s tradition is so rich of diverse influences. These timeless voices, which sow their seeds on a track of terzetti, madrigals, liturgical chanting, paghjelle, all heavy with emotion, radiate a burning poetry just like the earth in which A Filetta burrows its roots. Their concert is the exact reflection of a journey into tradition and novelty. To ancient songs evoking spiritual or loving memories echo creative songs born out of happy or sad events. However, each encounter troubles as the first one did: A Filetta , like the fern it is named after, keeps this wild spirit that makes listening to their songs a unique experience.

CARAMUSA
In 1984, Ghjuvan Ghjacumu and Christianu Andreani founded the research organisation E Cetera and the group Caramusa to help prevent something precious from disappearing - Corsican folk music. The time spent sharing magical moments of apprenticeship with the ‘elders’ all over their enigmatic island, collecting songs and melodies from the past, learning to play instruments whose provenance had long-been forgotten, the brothers became committed defenders of an ancient Corsican tradition.

Understanding the importance of the music’s pastoral origins, rooted in ancestral values and beliefs, the sound produced by Caramusa is authentic and inspired. Accomplished musicians, they guide their flutes made from animal horn and reed, their bagpipes of pelt or gourd, plus an array of other instruments with precision and spontaneity.

More then ever the group is loyal to their convictions: the poetry of the corsican language and the treasures of refinding the music of the island.

Latest CD: Cantu di a Terra

Un père originaire de Venaco, une mère de Santa Maria Figaniella, Ghjuvan Paulu Poletti réunit le nord et le sud de la Corse.
S'il naít à Ajaccio en 1949, c'est à Bastia qu’il apprend la musique avec Vincent Orsini avant de se perfectionner aux Scholi Cantarum de Florence et de Sienne. Le classique et le chant lyrique sont à la base de son éducation.

Grâce à un travail de recherche et de composition, cet auteur, compositeur, interprète va lutter sans relâche contre la situation d'acculturation de la Corse et jouer un rôle capital dans le "RIACQUISTU" (reconquête de la culture Corse). C'est la naissance du groupe emblématique CANTA U POPULU CORSU dont il est l'un des principaux compositeurs et chanteurs, avec Petru Guelfucci et Minicale. Une aventure qui durera de 1974 à 1981, en 9 albums et de multiples concerts.
La dernière création: Stabat Mater.
