Music
"Mountains divide waters and unite peoples." This Alpine proverb applies perfectly to Corou de Berra. Part of the centuries-old cultural links between Provence, Nice, Piedmont and Liguria in the Southern Alps is choral singing, and the region has developed its own style of vocal polyphony.
The repertoire of Corou de Berra is constantly evolving but ranges from the most traditional songs of the Southern Alps to the highly original contemporary compositions.
Film music
Corou de Berra sing on the soundtrack of Dogora: Open our eyes, the film by Patrice Leconte, music by fr:Étienne Perruchon.
