Concert by Tornamai:

Tornamai is a band of traditional music from south of France. They play and sing the dancing music from the area of «Cévennes» (mountain range north of Montpellier). These 4 musicians are involved in the rediscovery and interpretation of the local folk tradition of dancing and singing music (often in Occitan language). The band likes to create space for a collective practice and complicity between instrumentalists, singers and dancers. You can listen to their music at: http://tornamai.wordpress.com/2012/10/18/tornamai/

Band:

  • Basile Brémaud (singing, violin, feet)
  • Clément Gauthier (singing, French bagpipes «chabrette» and «boudègue», stringed percussion «tambourin à cordes»)
  • Mana Serrano (singing, violin)
  • Nicolas Roche (mandolin, mandola, banjo, kartals, singing)
