Les voix d'Inseme - Canti Nustrali
Led by six passionate singers, the group Inseme fervently embodies the heritage of Corsican song.
Their voices intertwine in a sacred and vibrant polyphony, often performed in the unique resonance of churches.

Here are the members of the group and their vocal roles:

Rutili Philippe - Bass
Deep, gravelly voice, often in charge of the background line or drone. This is typically the lowest range.
A talented guitarist, he brings balance and warmth to the harmonies. He is the link between the vocal tradition and the instrumental accompaniment. His subtle playing supports the voices with elegance. Philippe embodies authenticity and transmission. His deep, soulful voice lends a rare depth to polyphony.

Rutili Charles - Low baritone
An intermediate voice, solid and harmonious, which supports the base without being as deep as a bass voice. It can also be used as an intermediate voice in polyphony. An emblematic figure in Corsican singing, his musical sensitivity enriches every interpretation with finesse. Through his commitment and passion, Charles Rutili remains a key figure in Corsican music, helping to preserve and promote the island's cultural identity.

Sébastien Ottavi Tenor (or high baritone)
His flexible range, somewhere between high baritone and tenor, enables him to embrace both melodic lines and central harmonies with ease. He draws strength from his island roots, combining power and gentleness in his interpretations.

The latter 3 had a passion for singing and were guided to the "Scola di Cantu" in Ajaccio, the singing school of Natale Luciani, founder of Canta U Populu Corsu.
They then joined this emblematic group, performing on prestigious stages such as the Olympia, the Trianon and the Bataclan.

Marc-Antoine Leandri - Tenor
Agile in the high notes. He can carry the main melody line. A young voice full of energy and impact, he breathes contemporary life into the ensemble, while respecting the ancestral codes of cantu nustrale. His accuracy and vocal commitment reinforce the harmony of the group.

Cyril Tomasi - baritone Martin
A clear, expressive voice. He can provide harmonic support or take on higher notes, depending on the arrangements.
Cyril has a flexible, expressive voice, capable of both delicate nuances and powerful vocal bursts.
His versatile range allows him to adapt to the needs of each piece, sometimes supporting the melody, sometimes building the central harmony.
Passionate about polyphony and Corsican roots, his voice is clear, expressive and enveloping.
Blending accuracy and roundness with brio, he plays an active part in passing on this living heritage.

Ludovic Marcaggi - Tenor
A rising star on the Corsican singing scene, Ludovic Marcaggi combines vocal sensitivity with cultural commitment.
A native of Ajaccio, he developed a passion for Corsican music at an early age, exploring it through polyphony, chanson d'auteur and the great texts in the Corsican language.
A tenor with a clear, intense voice, Ludovic stands out for his expressive phrasing and his ability to convey emotion with accuracy.

This group offers you much more than a concert: an emotional immersion in the soul of Corsica, a blend of memory, identity and sonic beauty.
