Nowadays, Corsican polyphonies are renowned worldwide… This is thanks to pioneers such as A Filetta. Born in Balagne in 1978 out of a passion for singing and folklore, the band is deeply rooted in the land of its origin, like the local fern from which it gets its name. Their repertory illustrates the artistic journey of the band : sacred and profane hymns inherited from tradition as well as original songs. These are all witnesses to a dynamic culture that refuses to stay crystallised in its past. The band knows how to revive and share this difficult but magnificent art to which they hold the key. Their voices are mystifying and unique. Their gazes reveal a strong bond and a love for their island and for their public. The power of their passion, of their generosity and of their great talent means that you don’t come out of their concerts unchanged.
« the stunning acappella album Intantu features a somber set of sacred and secular polyphony sung by seven vocalists. While all the tracks expand upon the human voice, Sumiglia, with its vocals falling somewhere between an Islamic prayer and Christian madrigal songs, brings on tears to its intense sadness and beauty. » GLOBAL RHYTHM
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.
