A filetta
A Filetta (Corsican for "the fern") is a Corsican vocal group that was founded in 1978.
Members of the group are: Jean-Claude Acquaviva, François Aragni, Petru Antò Casta, Paul Giansily, Stéphane Serra, Maxime Vuillamier
In addition they count I Muvrini the best known of the Corsican polyphony, a tradition of polyphonic singing that was almost forgotten. A Filetta made a significant contribution to the revitalization of the Corsican cultural heritage and are now involved in cross-genre projects in the fields of film, theater, opera and dance. The artists can show international appearances.
The group is co-organizer of the Rencontres de Chants Polyphoniques, a meeting of vocal artists of various styles, which has been held annually in Calvi (Northern Corsica) since 1989 . You work with Bruno Coulais on film scores (for Don Juan, Himalaya, Comme un aimant, Le libertin), Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui ( In Memoriam with the Ballet of Monte Carlo, Apocrifu and Puz / zle ) and Paolo Fresu and Daniele di Bonaventura ( Mistico Mediterraneo, Danse mémoire, danse ) together.
