Sons Rurals w/ Mario Mirón

Sons Rurals is a sonic exploration of rural folklore, with a primary focus on the unique qualities of Occitan music from the 1970s. At its heart, the mixtape celebrates the richness of Occitan traditions while seamlessly incorporating elements from other folk traditions, particularly those of Catalonia and regions of France that share similar evocative soundscapes. The selection spans a diverse range of genres, including folk, chanson, jazz, psychedelic rock, and experimental music. Rare archival recordings, field recordings, and traditional instrumentation are thoughtfully paired with contemporary works that reimagine these timeless influences through innovative production techniques. Sons Rurals bridges the gap between regional traditions and modern experimentation. It is a tribute to the enduring legacy of Occitan sounds and their resonances across neighboring traditions.
