The concert: A life of music
In Limousin, as elsewhere, the small and large moments of daily life (work, the departure and return of soldiers, marriage, etc.) have always been an inexhaustible source of songs, in Occitan or French, and tunes to dance.
These traditional Limousin music and songs are reinterpreted by six musicians of today. The diatonic accordion, the hurdy-gurdy, the bagpipes, the violins and the percussions serve a joyful or more melancholic music, but always dynamic.
Roule… and ferme sings in French and Occitan, the melodies come from the traditional repertoire or more recent compositions of the band.
Limousin ball
The dances are mainly limousine origin: waltzes, polkas, stuffed, jumps, collective dances... for beginner dancers or more confirmed.
