Les Nouvelles Polyphonies Corses is a Corsican revival band, concerned with the indigenous music of Corsica.
Their eponymous debut album, Les Nouvelles Polyphonies Corses (1991), was arranged and produced by Hector Zazou, featuring Manu Dibango on saxophone, Ivo Papasov on clarinet, Richard Horowitz, Jon Hassell on trumpet, Shaymal Maltra on tabla, djembe, and ghatam, John Cale and Ryuichi Sakamoto on piano, with Zazou creating complimentary electronic music .
Their collaboration with non-Corsican artists was a decision based on exploring the evolving concept of polyphony.
The improvisation found on the album provides a conceptual link with the tradition of Corsican indigenous folk music.
They played a critical role in popularizing Corsican folk music, both on a local scale and a more global one.
