A storm of voices from the south of France

La Mal Coiffée (fr)

Abdijsite Herkenrode, Herkenrode

La Mal Coiffée

Four female voices from the Languedoc, together for more than twenty years. La Mal Coiffée sings exclusively in Occitan and builds its music on two pillars: polyphonic singing and percussion on traditional drums. No electric instruments, no artificial layer — just voice and rhythm.

Their latest albums Roge and Rojas are about resistance, disobedience and the people’s history of the Languedoc; the French press described their music as "un coup de gueule" — literally a cry from the throat. This is not nostalgic folklore, but a living language that refuses to disappear.

"La Mal Coiffée speaks for all oppressed cultures. Powerful." — Anne Berthod, Télérama
