'''I Muvrini''' is a [[Corsica]]n [[folk music]] group, who sing traditional [[Music of Corsica|Corsican music]] (Polyphony) in their native [[Corsican language]].
==History== The group was formed in the early 1980s by the brothers Jean-François Bernardini and Alain Bernardini both born in the village of [[Taglio-Isolaccio|Tagliu-Isulacciu]] in the [[Haute-Corse|north of Corsica]]. They are named after a species of wild sheep ([[mouflon]]) which live in the mountains of [[Corsica]].
The Bernardini brothers were introduced to traditional Corsican music at an early age by their father, Ghjuliu, who was a well-known poet and singer. They recorded their first single with their father in collaboration with the group ''Canta u Populu Corsu''. Ghjuliu Bernardini died in December 1977 and ''I Muvrini''{{'}}s first album, ''I Muvrini ... ti ringrazianu'', which was released in 1979, was dedicated to their father's memory.
In 2000, I Muvrini joined up with [[Sting (musician)|Sting]] to record "Terre d'Oru" ({{langx|en|"[[Fields of Gold]]"}}).
Throughout their career they have promoted the [[Corsican language]] and culture, much like the work pioneered by [[Les Nouvelles Polyphonies Corses|Les Nouvelles Polyphonies corses]]. [[Image:I muvrini 20080914.jpg|thumb|right|A concert in Warszaw, September 2008]]
