History
The group was formed in the early 1980s by the brothers Jean-François Bernardini and Alain Bernardini who were born in the village of Tagliu-Isulacciu in the north of
Corsica. They are named after a type of wild sheep 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 to record the their most famous song, "Terre d'Oru" (
English:
Fields of Gold
).
Throughout their career they have promoted the Corsican language and culture.
