Coriandre

**Coriandre** is a vibrant musical collective rooted in Occitan culture, blending traditional folk sounds from southern France with modern influences. Known for their lush harmonies and evocative storytelling, the group revives Occitan language and heritage through melodies that feel both timeless and fresh. Their recent releases, like *Camin d'estèlas* (a celestial homage to wanderers) and *La Marmita d'Oc* (a simmering ode to regional traditions), showcase their knack for weaving nature, history, and community into richly textured songs.

Live performances, such as their album *Viu (Live)*, highlight Coriandre’s dynamic stage energy, often featuring instruments like the cabrette (Occitan bagpipes) and tambourin à cordes. They’ve become fixtures at festivals celebrating Occitan identity, like Festival de Mirande, while collaborations with local artists underscore their commitment to cultural revival. Whether serenading landscapes or stirring up danceable rhythms, Coriandre invites listeners to explore Occitania’s soul—one poetic note at a time.
