Corsican Polyphonic Singing Workshop

Description:
Corsican polyphonic singing is a folk tradition that has accompanied the daily lives of Corsican farmers and mountain dwellers. It has become a traditional reference; since 2009, the cantu in paghjella, a type of paghjella singing, has been inscribed in UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage. Traditional singing is, above all, a journey shared by many. It is a strong and unique source of the need to be together and to share. But it is also, for each individual, a communication with the body that connects voices and breaths. It is a polyphony that seeks to delve deep into the harmonization of voice and body.
