I Campagnoli

The longevity of the group is also explained by its ability to adapt. The group's repertoire is enriched, but we will happily listen again to the old tracks and the more recent ones, recorded on Odisseu, their penultimate album from 2014, and their new album titled "SO ELLA" released on July 16, 2021, featuring Pascal Obispo.

I CAMPAGNOLI shares a great friendship with Pascal OBISPO, who has truly fallen in love with the group and their songs, proposing an anthology duet of his song "Millésime" in both Corsican and French. The group's repertoire combines sacred songs, traditional Corsican songs and music, covers of major French chanson standards, like "mon vieux", as well as creations like this beautiful song dedicated to the tragedy of Bataclan.

The renewal of a group also comes from the renewal of its commitment. The CAMPAGNOLI's commitment is strong and radical: they take a stand to fight against violence in all its forms exercised against women. Thus, the flagship song of their new album, which gives it its eponymous title: Sò ella. Written by Ghjacumu Fusina, one of the great authors of Corsican song, Sò ella, which could be translated as "I am that one", testifies to the involvement of the CAMPAGNOLI. They identify with every beaten, abused, and alienated woman. They are the new singers of this fight of love against war, with all the passion they are known for. A grand show titled "So ella", which is an ode to women and also a commitment against the violence exercised against them, was produced at the Bastia theater in 2022.

To continue to keep this historic group alive, Guy Calvelli – the pillar of the group since its creation in 1989 – has gathered around him:

Isabelle GIANNELLI (violin), who has been with the group I Campagnoli for nine years. Thanks to her, the music takes its rightful place. She brings the touch of feminine sensitivity that, according to Guy, was missing from his group and enriches the polyphony. With a classical background, Isabelle is also part of the well-known female group Elixir in Corsica.

Louis CRISPI (vocals), at just thirty years old, is a young man full of talent who has already made a nice reputation for himself on the island of beauty; one of the most beautiful voices of the young generation according to Guy.

With Alexis VITELLO (Vocals & guitar), who is twenty-seven years old, a future great singer of polyphonies, they form the essential link between generations for the evolution and longevity of the group.

As for Guy CALVELLI (vocals), he ensures the recognizable lied voice, as well as the creation of the repertoire and the direction of rehearsals for I Campagnoli.
