La Grande Folie

Description

Six powerful, earthy, connected, almost shamanic voices sing hypnotic folk, supported by assertively authoritative percussion. These six voices belong to San Salvador, a young band that sings in Occitan and gets festival-goers dancing worldwide. The sextet impresses with its masterful harmonies and the emotion and modernity it exudes. Their first album, "La Grande Folie," released in January 2021, was critically acclaimed. After a long tour in France and Europe, they decided to celebrate this success by unveiling the vinyl record on May 6, 2022. THE PRESS ON SAN SALVADOR: "They invent the folklore of the future with new compositions: both rooted and incredibly vibrant" (TELERAMA ffff); "Their polyphonies of incredible intensity evoke Steve Reich's counterpoints as well as the energy of a rock concert." (LIBÉRATION); "Their unclassifiable music, sung in Occitan, nourished by folk traditions but infused with post-rock impulses, sweeps everything in its path, vibrates, dances, intoxicates."
