History

Lo Còr de la Plana is a male vocal group from Marseille that sings in Occitan, pairing raw, close polyphony with Mediterranean frame drums and hand percussion such as the bendir, the pandeiro and the tamburello. The ensemble was founded around 2000 by singer Manu Théron in La Plaine, a working-class neighbourhood of Marseille that gave the group its name. The repertoire mixed traditional songs from the region with original pieces, and the delivery was anything but museum-like: loud, rhythmic, stamping and clapping, closer to a street chant or a football terrace than to a conservatory choir. Voices were stacked in dense, sometimes rough harmonies over driving percussion, which gave Occitan song a physical, almost punk energy. The group recorded Es lo titre in 2003, then Tant deman in 2007 and Marcha! in 2012, the last two on Buda Musique, and toured widely on the world music circuit. Beyond the music, Lo Còr de la Plana became an active voice for Occitan language and culture in southern France.
