La Soubirane is a tribal and mesmerizing vocal dance.
La Soubirane—“the sovereign” in Occitan—is a female polyphonic trio that leads a tribal and enchanting vocal dance, driven by the sound of drums.
The trio transcends the boundaries of time and space. Beyond bodies, beyond time, beyond space, it is the expression of archaic, primal forces blended with contemporary music: tuntun and delay, lyre and flanger, animal skins, gut strings, and striking hands…
An alchemy of hypnotic drones, powerful voices, and modern arrangements takes hold of the dancers’ bodies. This fusion resonates through the dance, inhabiting the magical moment of the present—the trance.
Between spinners of raw wool and weavers of noble silk, La Soubirane carries ancestral women’s stories, weaving a bridge between tradition and the modern age.
An archaic ball, sewn with golden threads where voices intertwine and unravel, where each brings a hue to weave the vibrant moment—the magic carpet that sets the dance alight.
An authentic intimacy, a simple and joyful closeness—a dance, from the heart.
