Today I Muvrini have published the start and end date of the Giru, their yearly tour in Corsica, and also two concerts of this tour. They will start on Saturday, August 1st in Folelli, again on the field in front of the bakery Chiaverini. If you would like to know how the concert was there in 2009, click here. On Tuesday, August 10 they will play in Calvi. The Giru will end this year on Friday, August 20. Where exactly is not published yet.  Further details will follow of course, but perhaps vacation plans can be made more precise now.

In San Ciprianu a pretty strong wind was blowing during the daytime, but at night with the concert only music was blowing! Click here to read the report of this concert, again with pictures of the soundcheck and the concert. Moreover, there are six videos to watch, three of soundcheck and three of the concert.

This website: “Notte” (“Night”) in Isula Rossa

By Petra van der Veen, 6 February 2010 13:28

In the streets of Isula Rossa I suddenly meet Alain Bernardini but I fail to meet Jean-François Bernardini at the exhibition of I Culori d’Umani. Although a part of the crew and the band is quite ill, is the evening a great success. Click here for the report of this evening with the videos of the beautiful new song “Notte” ( “Night”) and “Diu vi salvi Regina” with the Corsicans!

The concert in Fulelli was a night full of emotions. Actually I can not say anything more about it at this place. To read the full story click here, for pictures of the concert click here. The videos are of the new songs “Tu Mi Manchi” and “Peccatu”. Absolute stunning!

Video: Di Quale Si L’Amore in Bonifacio

By Petra van der Veen, 17 December 2009 20:26

One of the best songs is, in my opinion, “Di Quale Si L’amore” of the cd “Umani”. The text, the meaning of it, is again wonderful, but because of the subtle interweaving of vowels and consonants, I would call it justly “poetic”. In Bonifacio they played it on August 22, 2009 as follows:

Di Quale Sì L’amore

a m’ai detta tante volte
cusì pigliendumi a manu
è quand ella vene a notte
a mi cunfessi pianu pianu
a m’ai scritta nantu à un fogliu
a mare scemu à mare d’oliu
u nostru portu era quallà
è noi dui à navicà
a m’ai ghjurata più forte
quandu a speranza mancava
ch’elle eranu chjose le porte
è ch’ella era longa la strada

a sai
chì mai
s’è tù mi voli dì
s’è tù mi voli sì
di quale sì
l’amore u fiore
u secretu chì và
l’amore u fiore
u tesoru quallà
s’è tù mi voli dì
di quale sì
s’è tù mi voli dì

è nantu à un scornu di ritrattu
u filu di a to scrittura
«ti tengu caru» da cuntrattu
«à sempre» cum’è signatura
o pè accumpagnà la vita
a gioia è po l’acqua salita
ùn ti ne stanchi di fiurì
u nostru mondu à culurì
è pè assulià ne l’ore
duve lu batte lu mio core
mai ne dormenu e stelle
hè troppu dolce la to pelle
s’è tù mi voli dì
s’è tù mi voli sì
s’è tù mi voli dì
s’è tù mi voli sì
s’è tù mi voli dì
di quale sì

s’è tù mi voli dì
s’è tù mi voli dì

Whose are you?

you’ve often said to me
take my hand this way
when nighttime closes in
you whisper it to me
wrote it in your letters
sea of stillness or sea of rage
towards our port so far away
to navigate forever

your promise was never stronger
and once more filled with so much hope
at the long expanse of road
and before unopened doors

you know
forever
if you want to
if you want to tell me
whose are you
the love
the flower
the secret to share
the love
the flower
the treasure there
if you want to tell me
whose are you
if you want to tell me

at the bottom of a photo
you wrote for me the words
« I love you » your soul pledge
and signed it « for ever »
then to escort this life
through its joys and sorrrow
you go on flowering
our world with colours

to light up the moments
where my heart is beating
where stars can never sleep
on mine your skon so sweat

if you want to
if you want to tell me
whose are you
the love
the flower
the secret to share
the love
the flower
the treasure there
if you want to
if you want to tell me…
