The Corsican acapella music concert, sponsored by the French Consulate, was attended by several dignitaries, consuls general, and prominent Saudis.
The group of vocalists known as Tavagna sang songs about their upbringing in Corsica’s natural surroundings and their roots, family, and friends. The concert included a theatrical component as well.
The purpose of their performance was to bring people together over a common and uncommon type of song and music without instruments.
Tavagna was established in 1966 with the intention of promoting its culture globally. The goal of the concert was to introduce the world to their creative world.
In welcoming the guests, French Consul General Catherine Corm-Kammoun stated that the consulate is dedicated to promoting French culture in order to encourage cultural diversity.
“Music is a simple method to bridge cultural gaps and learn more about cultural variety,” states cultural liaison Charles-Henri Gros. “We included very traditional French songs, especially in Corsican, one of our regional tongues, for which we asked the primary singing group from Corsica, primarily because of their historical background and the evolution of the members through the centuries.”
He continued, saying the musicians had developed their rich, musical sound and were now known for their outstanding live performances and unusual intensity.
Mohammed Al-Subaih, the Saudi Arabian Society for Culture and Arts chairman of the board and branch manager in Jeddah, remarked: “It was an outstanding and singular experience. The lyrics of the songs captured the audience, and the show felt incredibly alive. “
The fact that we share comparable music in our Saudi culture unites us in this acapella event. We anticipate enhancing the importance of art, culture, and international understanding under Vision 2030.
On Monday night, Tavagna also gave a performance in front of a sizable audience at the University of Business and Technology of Jeddah.
