		Most of us, I fancy, have a box labelled traditional music into which we are happy to put some sorts of music but not others, and we would probably agree that contemporary or recently evolved styles and genres do not feature nearly so prominently as those of past generations.
		This is a question that has inspired many an impassioned debate in Corsica in recent years, prompted in part by the development of the ‘group’ phenomenon which, with its associated dialectics, is one of the central focuses of the present paper (1).
		As in many other parts of the Mediterranean region, traditional music in Corsica was subject to a process of increasing decline during the middle decades of the 20th century.

	Corsica Travel Information \| Lonely Planet Destination Guide
		Balzac described Corsica as 'a French island basking in the Italian sun', but the island has a singular character that is entirely its own.
		Proud, wild, defiantly independent and just a touch old-fashioned, Corsica is in many ways a separate nation to the rest of France.
		In fact, the island has been French for only 200 of its 4000-year history, and the island's unique culture, music and language have survived intact despite a couple of centuries of French rule.

		Although Corsica is technically a region of France and the birthplace of Napoleon (who was born around the time, France began its controversial rule over the Mediterranean island), there is a great deal of Corsican nationalistic pride and over the centuries, a separatist movement has come into play.
		Listening to this music, we reach the conclusion that this genre of music would have to be passed down from generation to generation and an ear must be developed for singing polyphony for it is not a solo, but a group effort.
		The music here is a haunting weave of traditional Hawaiian percussion, slack key guitar and Native American flute which swirls around the edges of the songs.

	Information and catalogue of works of composer Joseph-François KREMER
		His compostional style is situated between the formal conception of a theorised musical heritage and the research of new freely referenced musical climates.
		He is very sensitive to the sound qualities of contemporary music as well as the human rôle in the context of musical interpretation.
		This reflection on the music of the past in the light of the post-modernist aesthetic has lead Joseph-François KREMER to compose works which are at once deeply rooted in the French tradition and resolutely pointed towards the future.

	Pulifunie
		Its hauntingly beautiful and plaintive music is the theme songs for my sleeping and waking reveries and has been for several years now -- since I first heard the likes of Petru Guelfucci's CD Corsica, Donnisulana's Per Agata, E Voce Di U Cumune's Corsica: Chants Polyphoniques, and especially I Muvrini's À Bercy.
		And although I Muvrini's À Bercy is a live pop album, they sing a couple of verses of the traditional lament "Lode Di U Sepolcru" in traditional a cappella style and as a bonus (not their live version and not a cappella) the song "Terra" written by Jean-François Bernardini as a tribute to his homeland.
		There are examples of both the sacred and the secular songs (terzetti and paghjella) of Corsica as well as one written by Jean-François ("Terra"), a poem written by Ghjacumu Thiers and set to music by Jean-François ("Una Antra Matina"), and one written by Ghjuliu Bernardini ("O Salutaris").

	Music
		But while Corsica, like any other flourishing European destination, receives its fair share of mainstream American and European pop music, Corsica’s own music is subtly different from the material that washes over it from France, Italy and beyond.
		Most of i muvrini’s music is original, but the subtle cadences in the vocals are resonant of Corsican Polyphony.
		Corsicans are proud of their musical traditions and if you hear music you like in a restaurant, don’t forget to ask your waiter the name of the singer or band.
