I Muvrini [SEP] native language
I Muvrini
I Muvrini is a Corsican folk music group, who sing traditional Corsican music in their native Corsican language.
History.
The group was formed in the early 1980s by the brothers Jean-François Bernardini and Alain Bernardini who were born in the village of Tagliu-Isulacciu in the north of Corsica. They are named after a species of wild sheep (mouflon) which live in the mountains of Corsica.
The Bernardini brothers were introduced to traditional Corsican music at an early age by their father, Ghjuliu
Bihan.
Public support.
In March 2007, the players of FC Barcelona, Lilian Thuram and Oleguer Presas participated in the reading of a manifesto in defense of the Catalan language and of these schools at a ceremony in Perpignan. The manifesto has been further supported by club president Joan Laporta, the coach of the French national football team Raymond Domenech, and the singers Manu Chao, Cali, the group Zebda, and I Muvrini.
