About the Show

“A slick, rousing young six-piece whose thrilling polyphonic harmony singing is backed by pounding percussion.” 

— the Guardian


Hailing from Correze in south-western France, San Salvador is a six-voice and percussion collective  that combines Occitan poetry with hypnotic vocal harmonies propelled by surging percussion. Their compositions use the Occitan language—a Romance language spoken in southern France, Italy’s Occitan Valleys, and in parts of Spain and Monaco— as a rhythmic instrument, combining poetry with hypnotic vocal harmonies cascading over shifting patterns of compelling percussion to create their own songs.
