Los carboniers de la Sala

The sonogram painted on the doors to your left is a representation used for the spectral analysis of varying sounds and sound pressure, using a colour, frequency and time scale.

Here, it is the sonogram of a song: ‘Los carboniers de la Sala’ (the miners of Decazeville)

Performed by ‘Mans de Breish’, this song sets to music an Occitan text by the Aveyron writer ‘Jean Boudou’. The song recounts the lives of the miners of Decazeville and their solidarity during significant events such as the 1886 strike, when more than 2,000 miners fought for their rights following a cut in their wages.
