Lo Còr de la Plana (pronounce "Loh cor deh la plahn") is a gritty romp, matching six male a cappella voices with the stomping, clapping beat of a variety of hand drums, that accompany this French ensemble. Singing in the little known ancient language Occitan, the group transcends translation with wit, tenacity, and above all, intricate harmonies that soar between the dissonant and the sacred.
