2012 promises to be an exciting year for I Muvrini. Highlights will undoubtedly be the concert with the Choristes in Banneux next week and the concert in Paris on June 2^nd. Jean-François and Alain could not say after the recent concerts if the last concert would be the closing of the Gioia-tour, or just the presentation of the new CD. For there is in any case a new album in the pipeline, and the band will start working on it now. Given the positive responses to the Giru concerts in which several new songs were presented, it promises to be a CD on which the Corsican roots will more resonate.  However the appearance of the CD itself promises to be a thrilling climax. We will wait and hear!

One of the new songs of the last concerts was “A Zitellina”. It is a song about mother Bernardini, but she is depicted in such a way that she becomes a universal mother. In this video you can fairly well follow the text that was projected on the screen direct behind Jean-François.

I wish I Muvrini, and everybody who reads this message, a happy, prosperous and creative 2012!

Recently the Dutch translation of Jean-François’ book “Carnet pour Sarah” has been published. The translation was made by Marlene Lokin. The visitors of the Dutch concerts know her already as the lady who translated the texts of Jean-François on stage. The first reactions to the book are positive. Marlene Lokin has succeeded in making a natural translation, and this book is certainly an original way to learn more about Corsica than what you can learn about the island by reading the travel books. You can order it here. Do not be fooled by the fact that Marlene Lokin is named as the author of the book. That is really the one and only Jean-François Bernardini!
