La chanson occitane 1965-1997 - Valérie Mazerolle
Thirty years of Occitan song means artistic and social practices, debates and issues that involve not only the Occitan movement, but society as a whole...
After appearing discreetly in the 1960s as an auxiliary to poetry, song became the most effective vector of Occitan demands after May 1968, with singers such as Claude Marti, particularly during the Larzac demonstrations (1973-1974). It was presented as a political tool for forging an identity, but also for recomposing social relations and renegotiating the status of minority languages and cultures with the French authorities.
Protest songs then retreated in favor of folk reappropriation of the traditional popular repertoire by better-trained musicians, who had often practiced collecting and benefited from the support of new cultural institutions.
Sensitive to new musical trends (reggae, rap), a third wave, at the end of the 1980s, dubbed by Claude Sicre "Ligne Imaginot", in reference to the anti-centralist and anti-regionalist thinking of Félix Castan, In Toulouse (the Fabulous Trobadors), Marseilles (Massilia Sound System) and Nice (Nux Vomica), the group expressed a concern for the social roots of its practice, and set out, in Occitan and French, to invent a new urban folklore, a ferment for the regeneration of national cultural life.
This is what Valérie Mazerolle analyzes in her rich and insightful study, the result of the thesis she defended at the Université Blaise Pascal in Clermont. A book of contemporary history that will enthrall lovers of today's music as well as those of Occitan culture.
With discography, bibliography, illustrations and numerous quotations.
