Info for Cantà in Cumpagnia

In the album "Cantà in cumpagnia", Corsican vocal tradition and the art music of the Italian Renaissance come together in a unique way. Four singers and four wind players combine medieval lauds, madrigals, and motets with the living tradition of Corsican polyphony and improvised diminution. Recorded at the Church of Santa Maria Assunta in Mandriale, the album creates an impressive sonic space that bridges oral tradition and historical performance practice—archaic, virtuosic, and imbued with great atmospheric depth.

Camerata Figarella

Camerata Figarella
is a space for exchange, creation and performance of scholar and traditional music in Corsica. It is based in the village of Figarella, in the north of the island: a laboratory for research and creation exploring the connections between oral and written musical traditions.

Staging a chjama è rispondi between sacred and secular music, Camerata Figarella brings together, in an ensemble of variable size, early and classical music performers and specialists in traditional music.

The ensemble performs throughout Europe and in 2026 releases its first album, "Cantà in cumpagnia", on the Carpe Diem Records label, with William Dongois, Enea Sorini, Stefan Legée, Fausto & Ange Sierakowski and traditional singers Michele Paoli, Jean Etienne Langianni and Daniel Gonet.

Alongside this, Camerata Figarella is committed to Corsica through educational activities and an annual Festival at the end of September.
