Lo Còr de la Plana (pronounce "Loo cooar day la plan") is a male ensemble from the quarter of La Plaine in Marseille. Six singers accompanied by percussions (bendirs and tamburello), "picaments"" of their feet and "bataments" of their hands. Founded in 2001, the formation has launched into the systematic re-creation of popular Occitan heritage. With unrivalled passion they sing all repertoires, from the most religious to the most unfettered, the repetitive to the occasional (quite often at the same time !). Lo Còr has this new, definitive desire to do away with "traditional" song, to cross swords with vocal music and polyphony, even if it means stirring up those who would like to see these music forms die a death in chapels... Our singers are everywhere : in churches, factories, bars, festivals or theatres, and do not hesitate to mix disconcerting paganism of old Occitan backgrounds with the preoccupations of Marseille musicians of today. They do not renounce any influence, from Bartok to Massilia Sound System, or any origin, from Oran to Rove, as their only ambition is to evoke and resonate in their music all that their city and the world around it has given them in terms of sounds. A police siren, a newborn baby, the remains of a paradise or a fantasyland, a drunken party, sheep, wolves... in short, the peaceful, heady passion of day-to-day life!...
