Thibault Chaumeil from San Salvador: Occitan Vocal Power and Propulsive Percussion




Youthful French ensemble San Salvador revs up traditional Occitan-language troubadour songs by blending complex vocal polyphony with propulsive percussion. They've already wowed the cognoscenti at both the WOMEX (Europe) and globalFEST (US) world music showcases. Thibault Chaumeil of San Salvador joins us this week to introduce the group's wonderful debut studio album La Grande Folie and share the story behind the music.

Chresti, I'm a total Summer lover, anything below 20c is uncomfortable to me. It's 6c this morning. But I hope you get some rain & not extreme heat in California. Looking pretty dry & fire prone there now.

Thanks Scott67, yes, looks like a red flag warning summer is around the corner.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:02pm
mariano:

Scott67: Complete opposite with me. I was raised in sub-tropical and tropical areas, lots of heat and (worst of all) humidity. My heaven would have a Pacific Northwest climate. Cool and misty year-round. Right now it's gorgeous in New Orleans though, last bit of spring before the humidity comes back. It's 80/27 with blue skies and a nice breeze.

That's my ideal climate too, Pacific Northwest, mariano.

TDK60:

It's similar to the Catalan language, right?
Avatar 7:12pm
TDK60:

..or adjacent in the Romance family?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:14pm
mariano:

TDK60: Yeah. Historically, the Occitan region has bordered the Catalan region. If you know French and/or another Romance language you could read a bit of Occitan.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:15pm
Scott67:

I could handle living in one of the Modernist cliff shacks around Big Sur. But would need to go South regularly to warm up & dry out.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:15pm
Rob W:

TDK60 - they're from Saint-Salvadour, France - that's the French spelling of the Occitan San Salvador. Occitan is a romance language (as is Catalan).
Avatar 7:18pm
TDK60:

Thanks mariano, Rob. I've looked at Catalan written and listened but not Occitan. / mariano, I lived some years in Pacific NW.

Hallo Bas! Knowing a bit of Spanish-written I can get a drift with Catalan. Written, to me it looks like Spanish & French combined (in a crude way of saying!). Yes, their music is great.

Hi TDK60! Yes, seem feel here! I don't know Spanish though...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:27pm
mariano:

Bas NL: I had a great-uncle from Spain who lived part of the year in a Catalan-speaking area but never learned Catalan (though we have relatives in the area whose first language it is). He used to tease them, saying all you have to do to speak Catalan is chop off the last letters of Spanish words. "Un vaso de agua" is "Un vas d'ag" (not really, that's what he would say in jest).
Avatar 7:27pm
TDK60:

Chresti, as far as I know Basque (Euskadi?) is unrelated to any other tongue.
Avatar 🌍 Swag For Life Member 7:32pm
Bas NL:

@mariano I'd love to be able to speak Catalan! I once had a guided tour of a small church made by Gaudi. I was lead around by a very enthusiastic caretaker who showed and explained everything in beautiful Catalan. He even showed Gaudi's bill for the building. An experience to never forget.

Just vocals and percussion. As for Saint-Salvador - I don't think they all live there - I didn't actually ask why they chose that village specifically for the name - I'll have to ask, if I can lure them to WFMU sometime in the future!
Avatar 🌍 Swag For Life Member 7:42pm
Bas NL:

Ah, great! I just found all lyrics are included in the bandcamp release.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:42pm
mariano:

Yeah, Basque is a descendant of a language that was spoken in the area before the Europeans themselves arrived, very ancient language.

Bas NL: That sounds like a lovely tour.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:00pm
Rob W:

Glad you liked it K from HP!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:01pm
mariano:

Bas NL: Yeah, the reason French became the dominant language has to do with politics and the vagaries of history (same with standard Italian and Spanish/Castilian). As the French state expanded, the language expanded with it and other languages were marginalized, leading to erroneous notions such as Occitan being a dialect of French.
Avatar 8:03pm
TDK60:

Yikes, they were great, lots of energy.
Avatar 🌍 Swag For Life Member 8:08pm
Bas NL:

I guess emperors and television have snuffed out marginal languages. At the time people in France were not able to understand their neighboring languages. Not that much happened to talk about probably. I once heard the peoples from Normandy even stayed in bed during the winter months.

Ah yes Bas emperors and television, always a fatal combination!
