Ghjirulatu lyrics I Muvrini

Biography

I Muvrini are a Corsican musical group formed by the brothers Alanu and Ghijvan Francescu Bernardini, originally from the small village of Tagliu-Isulaccia in northern Corsica. Growing up in an environment rich in musical traditions, the two learned the local polyphonies from a young age thanks to their father, a poet and singer. They began performing on makeshift stages, singing Corsican folk songs. Initially, they recorded some 45s with the group "Cantu U Populu Corsu", at the request of Ghijvan's father, who had founded the formation. In 1977, the sudden death of their father, a man who dreamed of a free Corsica, pushed the brothers to embark on an artistic path with a precise purpose: to spread Corsican culture and traditions, promote the cause of an independent nation, and protect the beauty of the island. I Muvrini have achieved international fame thanks to their original music that blends traditional elements with modern influences, becoming a symbol of Corsican cultural resistance.
