Corsica is a piece of heaven on earth, which Bambi had the chance to visit with her family about 10-12 years ago. Well, yesterday night before sleep, she discovered a great song that made all her wonderful memories of this trip come to her mind.
To begin with, bravo to Mr. Kendji Girac for singing in the Corsican language with the amazing group L’Avvinta, as shown in the Youtube video below (in which it is sweet to see Mr. Patrick Fiori as well)!
For those of you who do not know it, “Catena” [The Chain] is a Corsican adaptation of a Catalan song entitled “L’Estaca“, which was composed by Mr. Lluis Llach in 1968 during the reign of Franco in Spain. It is a call for unity to achieve freedom (https://lyricstranslate.com/en/catena-chain.html). Of note, the original Corsican song has inspired many versions in several languages, including French, Polish, Basque, Yiddish, Arabic, and Hebrew.
To conclude this post on a joyful note, Mr. Kendji Girac became a father to a baby daughter called Eva! Welcome to the latter on our planet and congratulations to her mom and dad! Who knows, maybe Mr. Girac’s new moving song, entitled Eva (https://bit.ly/3KJGp3i), would be posted by Bambi on this blog one of these days :)?
Thanks for the historical background of the song as well
Bambi thanks you Achim for taking the time to listen and write this positive comment.
