Marcha!

The male vocal band from Marseilles is back with a riotous album entitled “Marcha!”. Literary and musical protest takes on an especially subversive and rebellious dimension – notably in the repertoire of Marseilles – and sharp humour is combined with violent, morbid or larger-than-life lexical contrasts.  Lo Cor de la Plana shatters the hackneyed patterns and boring forms usually found in traditional singing.  The vocals and percussion (bendir and tambourine, foot-stomping and hand-clapping) return these songs to the feverish environment that befits them and that has become one of the band’s trademarks.
