MANDULINA DI CORSICA E D 'ALTRO

From 23/10 to 23/10.

Cuncertu : Mandulina di Corsica è d'altrò Tàlcini Orchestra. From Thursday 23 October 2025 at 6.30pm to Tuesday 15 July 2025 at 12am. The mandolin is one of the rare Corsican instruments that popular tradition managed to keep alive with great vigour until the end of the 1950s. But despite the efforts of folk groups since then, its decline has been felt on the island too. The Tàlcini Orchestra was born out of a desire to bring the island's strings back to the fore. The group's aim is to illustrate the Mediterranean context from which Corsica has drawn its various influences, while at the same time taking the liberty of performing pieces from more distant more distant traditions. Around the mandolins of Ange Lanzalavi, historic instrumentalist of the Mannella di Corti, Minicale, founding member of Canta u Pòpulu Corsu and Antoine- Marie Leonelli, a cultural activist, the group has added traditional musicians such as Antoine Luciani (bass), Dominique Bacchioni (guitar) and Michel Buresi (percussion).
