Efans de la campagnaby San Salvador

Based in the small village of Saint-Salvadour in the Corrèze, the vocal and rhythm ensemble consists of 3 male and 3 female vocalists, two of whom play rhythmic floor toms, and others playing various percussion... Taking their lyrics from the secular regional folk songs and stories of love, war, and life passed on from medieval times and recorded in texts in the late 19th and early 20th century, they sing together in a very breath-disciplined polyphonic style in the Occitan language layered with hypnotic percussion.
