I Muvrini Background information Origin Corsica Genres Folk, worldbeat Years active 1979–present Members Alain Bernardini Jean François Bernardini Stéphane Mangiantini

**I Muvrini** is a [Corsican](/source/Corsica) [folk music](/source/Folk_music) group, who sing traditional [Corsican music](/source/Music_of_Corsica) (Polyphony) in their native [Corsican language](/source/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 [Tagliu-Isulacciu](/source/Taglio-Isolaccio) in the [north of Corsica](/source/Haute-Corse). They are named after a species of wild sheep ([mouflon](/source/Mouflon)) which live in the mountains of [Corsica](/source/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](/source/Sting_(musician)) to record "Terre d'Oru" (English: "[Fields of Gold](/source/Fields_of_Gold)").

Throughout their career they have promoted the [Corsican language](/source/Corsican_language) and culture, much like the work pioneered by [Les Nouvelles Polyphonies corses](/source/Les_Nouvelles_Polyphonies_Corses).
