While Cocanha retain their vocals-and-percussion foundation, the album introduces subtle experimental components and electronic manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>According to Fraysse, the project aims to reclaim folk traditions as something subversive and liberating.<\/p>\n<div class=\"guerrillawrap\">\n<div class=\"guerrillagravatar\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5edbe3c3cb9eb17444f04e58aba75ae61da0785b1ad24ec34778ee48af31dd80?s=80&amp;d=identicon&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5edbe3c3cb9eb17444f04e58aba75ae61da0785b1ad24ec34778ee48af31dd80?s=160&amp;d=identicon&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-80 photo\" height=\"80\" width=\"80\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<h4>Author: <span>World Music Central News Room<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>World music news from the editors at World Music Central&#13;\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content addtoany_content_bottom\">\n<div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list\" data-a2a-url=\"https:\/\/worldmusiccentral.org\/cocanha-push-occitan-folk-into-new-territory-with-flame-folclore\/\" data-a2a-title=\"Cocanha Push Occitan Folk Into New Territory with \u201cFlame Folcl\u00f2re\u201d\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.addtoany.com\/buttons\/share_save_171_16.png?w=790&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><!-- end .entry-content -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source worldmusiccentral.org \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>French duo Cocanha have released \u201cFlame Folcl\u00f2re,\u201d the title track and final single from their upcoming third album, Flame Folcl\u00f2re.
