As part of the 2025 summer events, Propriano town council and the municipal theatre are offering "Les Concerts du Port".
A free concert every Tuesday on the Quai Saint Erasme.
This Tuesday 19 August, the Corsican singing group I Voci di a Gravona will be performing on the Quai Saint Erasme.
As its name suggests, I Voci di a Gravona hails from the Gravona valley to the north of Ajaccio.
Continuing an approach initiated in the 70s, I Voci di a Gravona remains committed to pursuing its objectives: The desire to respect and maintain the threads of memory that link us to the past while describing the present.
Imagining to better claim the future, such is the will of the members of this talented group.
After long years of dormancy, the group is back in 2021 with new faces and a new fourteen-track eponymous album.
Forty years ago, the road began that led to two excellent albums, Spaventu and Terra, and a number of landmark Corsican songs, such as Quand'eddi m'accurdarani and Scrivu à tè.
A younger team has decided to take up the torch.
Around cultural activists like Paul Tradi, the group gradually took shape.
Firstly, through a new lease of life. "There was nothing in terms of workshops in the Gravona, so they set up a singing and violin school. Alongside the courses, they reconstituted the I Voci group."
I Voci di a Gravona takes up where the original group left off, with the aim of "cultural militancy".
The idea of a new album quickly gained ground, and it was at Ricordu that the comeback opus was recorded.
It simply bears the group's name.
Fourteen tracks on eclectic themes, as the band put it: "The subjects of inspiration are varied. The themes dear to the Voci remain topical, like a foundation, a rooting in their land, its nature, its tradition, its legends.
Some of the tunes take us down the steep paths that lead to the mountain sheepfolds.
But the group's militancy remains predominant, and the aim is to get across a few messages based on observations that, despite the years, are still relevant today: a rural society in its death throes, a frantic race towards speculative urbanisation, job insecurity, youth unemployment and so many other ills from which our society suffers".
Admission free.
