Brama is a psychedelic rock band from central France combining droning hurdy gurdy, sharp cut guitar riff and energy blasting drums.
Formed in 2019, the quartet has the ability to jump from one genre to another — from experimental noise art to stellar pop — drawing influences from French folk music, Pakistani Qawwali, desert blues, German krautrock, and fuzz-driven rock. They are champions of the DIY (do-it-yourself) spirit and possess a polyphonic energy that transports audiences to unexpected places. In their live shows, the guitar, bass, drums, and hurdy-gurdy engage in a hypnotic conversation with solar vocals in Occitan. In this way, Brama delves into tradition to emerge with a spontaneous, contemporary discourse. The band presents their first full-length, self-titled album, released by the Airfono label in September 2024.
Occitan is a Romance language spoken mainly in three areas: the southern third of France; the Aran Valley (in the northwest of Catalonia); and Italy (in the Occitan Valleys of the Piedmont and Liguria regions, in the northwest of the country, and in the Calabrian town of Guardia Piemontese, in the south). Occitan is characterized by its dialectal diversity (Gascon, Limousin, Auvergnat, Languedocien, Provençal). It was one of the most important languages in Europe during the Middle Ages, with a rich cultural and literary tradition. Today, despite cultural movements for revitalization, Occitan is a severely endangered language with little legal recognition, except in Catalonia, where it is co-official.
Cypriot Greek is a dialectal variety of Modern Greek spoken mainly on the island of Cyprus. It is closely related to Standard Greek but has its own phonetic, lexical, and grammatical features that make it clearly distinctive and recognizable. It is the variety spoken daily by Greek Cypriots.
