SWG Manu Therón & Occitan Music S1 E5

Sitting with Gianluca will be Manu Therón, multi-lingual musician and journeyman. Manu is at the forefront of the Southern French musical movement to reclaim the Occitan indigenous language banned by Paris after the French Revolution. Manu explains the history, the resurgence of the language and the different bands that are reclaiming it – from reggae and ragamuffin to psychedelic rock and will play a song in the Occitan language.
