Cocanha

Three precise, perfectly-pitched, emotional voices, with marked, striking percussion. With Toulouse as a meeting place, the trio sings aloud the Occitan language of everyday life, a veritable vocal playing field. Their hands and feet move to the rhythms of the dance. The Pyrenean stringed drums provide the raw, enveloping percussive drone, giving the song a living pulse. Cocanha sings indigenous music in a style rooted in the continuity of popular creativity.
