With … E los leons the polyphonic song and percussions of La Mal Coiffée sculpt a music that tells a story : that of a young girl whose distant ancestors were lions. While the traditions of her clan pressure her to fulfil the role reserved for women of her line, she is unable to ignore the passionate urges of her ancestors that beat within her …

Inspired by the novel by Henry Bauchau, Diotime et les lions (Actes Sud/Babel), … E los leons presents two opposing visions of the world, a clash between passion and reason. The result is one of La Mal Coiffée’s most beautiful song collections.

With five albums and more than 400 concerts (Sziget Festival, Les Suds, Les Vieilles Charrues, Au Fil des Voix) to their credit, La Mal Coiffée are today attracting a wide audience who are discovering the wealth of an Occitan polyphony that is forever reinventing itself !

La Mal Coiffée take their name from a recurrent figure in popular tradition : « La mal cofada ». Ill-groomed and scrufy… the endearing rebel !

New LP available in digipack format with a 48-page bilingual booklet in Occitan/French illustrated by Laurent Bonneau.
