nasque

Nasque is a term used in the context of the French language and culture, particularly in the region of Occitania. It refers to a type of traditional folk music that is characterized by its lively rhythm and simple, repetitive melodies. Nasque music is often performed by groups of musicians, typically including a accordionist, a drummer, and a singer. The lyrics of nasque songs are usually in the Occitan language, and they often tell stories or describe everyday life in rural areas.

Nasque music has its roots in the traditional music of the Pyrenees region, where it was first performed by shepherds and other rural workers. Over time, it has evolved and spread to other parts of Occitania, becoming an important part of the region's cultural heritage. Today, nasque music is still performed at festivals, weddings, and other social events, and it continues to be an important part of the cultural identity of the Occitania region.
