From the village of Bonorva, in Sardinia, the Paulicu Mossa Choir is an acclaimed polyphonic musical group that presents the art of singing as an embedded part of daily life in local communities. Named after the revered poet Paulicu Mossa, the choir draws from the ancient storytelling and popular traditions on the island. The polyphonic “cantu a tenore” music in Sardinia has been recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Founded in 1997, the Paulicu Mossa Choir presents a vast repertoire that varies within Sardinia.
The Paulicu Mossa Choir is a fundamental artistic element for the cultural season of the MusaMadre project, a global cultural arts incubator in Sardinia. Connecting tradition and innovation, the stirring voices of Bonorva constantly engage with guest artists at the nearby village of Rebeccu, home of the MusaMadre project, and promote the island’s extraordinary history and cultures throughout the world through collaborations of music and beauty of the arts, poetry and storytelling, and community and exchange.
