poliphony

I'd like to recommend Canta U Populu Corsu, L'Arcusgi and A Filetta, three important bands of corsican poliphony with a strong political ideology.

Petru Guelfucci

Petru Guelfucci would be also interesting in this topic. He has five albums:

- S'o chjodu l'occhji

- Corsica

- Isula

- Memoria

- Vita

He is related to the group Canta U Populu Corsu
His song Corsica has been covered by Alkistis Protopsalti.

I would add a marginal note regarding I Muvrini, that you might delete if you think out-of-topic. Despite of singing in corsican, they are a controversial group in Corsica. There is some reluctance about them in the nationalist enviroment, and they are very often considered traitors.
