With filetta of Corsica music of origin is a group. This group was born in Balagne in 1978. The group interprets Corsican polyphonies and songs. Name of the group inspired by the expression " Ti scorda di has filetta! " who means " do not forget the fern! " , to make simple: do not forget your native soil. the characteristic of the fern lies in its capacity to sow its seeds of share of structure. Thus the idea of division is also in the group. (the fern being particularly present in Corsica). Their songs are in Corsica language . The singularities D has filetta are multiple. They are the first has to have decided more systematically not to give again the receipts in their concerts (as that was of rigor for the totality of the singers in Corsican language) to the nationalists cause with beginning of the year 80. A handle criticized then much followed a little later. From autrees modes of expression and solidarity were born. They affirmed without shouting it on the roofs the primacy of the culture and art on the " cause (?)". Then and they is more interréssant, they were the first to introduce social references into their songs. While not forgetting also to produce direction around the various communities. In particular Maghrebian. More outstanding still? Engagement militant precisely in Balagne. Passione has, HAS L iniziu it will era has voce (recnotnres polyphonic songs), theater etc…. with a regular work in the duration! In Filetta made choices. To build, militate freely. Thus they knew émanciper new taboos of Riacquistu which imposed a minority of political actors and cultural on the greatest number. This freedom is included/understood like a great capacity to trace its furrow freely. the pregnancy of these actions and this philosophy result in topics or the universal one, justice have a prevalent share. To clarify the greatest singularity of cultural work, it appears useful to recall that the first to have sung on scene of the polyphony it has Filetta. In spite of the reserves and suspicion, they opened the voice. 25 years after it is known that a great part sings in polyphony, the summer come, and disappear under the sheets from autumn. And thus the new cycle of the history of the Corsican polyphony goes. Between folkrore estivalo-financié without heart or lived human. A contrario of the action of the group. A group which not to compromise forever. In nothing. on its philosophy. In Filetta is an occupational class (intermitemps spectacle, limited liability company of Production). This turning, the group took it with beginning of the year 90. In spite of the fidelity of a public the magnet is for its perfect control of the tradionnelles polyphonies or the evolutions which it knew to bring to him, the group has Filetta is not therefore a general public group. With the direction general public variety. The recognition of its pars, of criticisms, its successes, the number of these concerts locates it in the sure values of World Music. The human and artistic meetings brought them to the incorporation of techniques (bumblebee, etc… to supplement ). That made of this group a " group; incatégoriable". If, all the same, quite simply Corsican voices…! Voices that never people still, did not know to imitate in polyphonies (of their creation or interpreatation) on the island.
