I'm coming back to this blog to update the messages, after almost 15 years elsewhere, I'm resuming my blogging activities. 15 years is a long time, many messages are no longer up to date.
My new research tells me that Petru Guelfucci is no longer with us. In this month of November, traditionally dedicated to the deceased, I am resuming this post to introduce him to you again
SEPTEMBER 13, 2009, I wrote . . . . . .
Petru Guelfucci is a Corsica singer, born in 1955 in Sermanu. Emblematic figure in the revival of Corsican polyphony, he helped create the group Canta U Populu Corsu ....
This group will rekindle the flame of nationalism within a generation. "This was the period of reclaiming our heritage, sayd Guelfucci. It was the plague of the time. We were forbidden to speak Corsican in schools. »....
Petru Guelfucci did not succeed at first in his country France, but in Quebec. He then started an international career and earned a gold record in Canada. Petru is a real personality of the Corsican song, with a tone of voice quite unusual and a real sense of melody. Wikipedia He wrote one of the most beautiful songs about the Isle of Beauty: Corsica (1991), and when I heard it on the radio, I got the cassette without hesitation. Corsican singing is captivating, it is a harmony that opens the heart and soothes the mind, it is voices full of color and passion.
CORSICA
His work will live forever.
Rest In Peace Petru Guelfucci
March 6, 1955 - October 8, 2021
