Occitan Ballad: Moussu T e lei Jovents and "Sus l'Autura"

Moussu T e lei Jovents brings us our random tune for today. A Marseilles-based band that is inspired by the music of Marseilles between 1920 and 1930 and the melting pot that the city was and remains, Moussu T e le Jovents range musically from the blues to reggae to Brazilian music to music hall. The band splits its time between Marseilles, a French commune called La Ciotat, and Recife, Brazil. They are very comfortable singing in Occitan, the regional language of the southern third of France. They have released eight albums. This song, Sus l'Autura, can be found on Moussu T e lei Jovents' 2006 album Forever Polida.
