The Bearn province in southwestern France has a living tradition of polyphonic song, which can be heard at every festive celebration and may involve two, three, five, ten or thirty singers who stand in a circle. A living tradition is a tradition in evolution, and by bringing in their personal, contemporary musical practices, the singers of La Novem have helped this repertoire evolve.
