Le Festenal del serral

Translating as `The festival of the hill', Le festenal del serral was a celebration of Occitan music and culture organised by a friend in the south of France to which Folignouma were invited to play.


Set in an olive grove with a chorus of cicadas, polyphonic Occitan choirs, a ceilidh, barbershop trio, and us! it was all great fun and very eclectic.

 
We performed in a large tepee on Sunday, debuting new repertoire specially arranged for this performance, transposed from balafon to the more portable accordion and guitar
 
Aqueles - Occitan Barbershop Trio 
 
After our set we enjoyed a brilliant performance of a cappella harmony in Occitan.
