Biography
Voce Ventu is a Corsican polyphony group founded in 1995 in Ajaccio. It is composed of Xavier Tavera, Frédéric Poggi, Éric Ressouche, Frédéric Sini and André Fazi, all from the singing school Corse Scola di cantu by Natale Luciani. Anthony Geronimi joined them a few years later. These artists have over 15 years of experience in music having participated in prestigious festivals (Avignon festivals, Marseille polyphonies, Midem of Cannes, tours in Japan, Palestine, Germany, Sardinia, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Greece, Canada...).
The group first performed classics of Corsican song in emblematic places like the cabaret Au son des guitares in Ajaccio. In 2005, they embark on the creation with the album Rughju Di Vita, followed by a tour in Japan. This collaboration with the Japanese artist Mieko Miyazaki and the violinist Emmanuel Solans gives birth to the album Tessi Tessi (2010), mixing Corsican and Japanese influences. A documentary, When the islands meet, traces this adventure.
