The Corsican polyphonic group L’Alba will unveil ‘Vivu’, their eighth album (physical and digital version) and the first ‘live’ one, on June 12th, 2026, through Buda Musique / Socadisc.
Until now, no L’Alba live album existed. That has changed, now that ‘Vivu’ has come to fill that gap. Their remarkable live performances fully justify this release. It features titles taken from their studio albums, and we can appreciate the nuances these versions bring to each one of them: with presence, respiration, emotion, and even a touching fragility, the term ‘live music’ takes on its full meaning. ‘Vivu’ invites us to experience a captivating intimacy with the talented musicians of L’Alba.
For the record: L’Alba takes pleasure in showing that the Corsican musical tradition is not static but, on the contrary, dynamic and constantly evolving. Its music, timeless and open to the world, affirms an ever-more Mediterranean orientation. L’Alba occupies a prominent place in the Corsican musical landscape. Its creative approach is guided by respect for the polyphonic heritage whilst incorporating new influences drawn from cultures across the globe, such as North Africa, Italy, Greece and Portugal.
