I Muvrini and pupils Anima in Corse Matin

Yesterday there was an article in the Corse Matin about the performance of the pupils of the  school of music Anima in Ghisonaccia, last Saturday. That performance was definitely successfull. In the afternoon Jean-François encouraged the pupils by saying:  ”N’oubliez pas qu’un instrument de musique est comme un ami, il faut l ‘apprivoiser, apprendre à aimer, vous l’avez pour la vie et il est un lien social extraordinaire”. With these words Jean-François is saying something truthfull and well-chosen, which is almost impossible to translate. If I give it a try I make this out of it: “Please do not forget that your instrument is like a friend, one has to learn to control it, learn to love it, you’ll have it for the rest of your life and it creates an extraordinary social bond”.

I Muvrini and Grand Corps Malade in Corte

Last night the confluence of the two different worlds of the city and the village became real in Corte. That means: the slameur Grand Corps Malade joined the stage together with I Muvrini to sing ”Una Terranova”. The Corse Matin reports about it today. Grand Corps Malade, according to the article, has had a good relationship with Corsica for about 15 years now. He visits the island at least once a year. When Jean-François asked him to work together on “Una Terranova” he agreed immediately, and both singers have written a part of the text. “Nous avons de grands points de convergence”, as he summarizes the relationship with I Muvrini. Next Monday there will be a reprise of this exceptional cooperation in Bastia!
By the way, tomorrow, Saturday, August 7, the pupils of the music school Anima will be the support act of the concert of I Muvrini in Ghisonaccia. The concert will begin at 21.00 hrs.
