Antoine Ciosi (French: [ɑ̃twˈan sjozˈi]; 15 December 1931 – 4 October 2026) was a French singer and composer.[1]
Life and career
[edit]Born in Sorbo-Ocagnano on 15 December 1931, Ciosi grew up in a rural family of four children.[2] He described the differences in his childhood between free Corsica and the Italian occupation.[3] He also described growing up with his father and the family-run tavern.[4] He began composing songs in the Corsican language and notably won first prize at the Festival de la chanson corse in 1963 for the song "Paese spentu".[5][6] He published an autobiography in 2005, titled Le chemin des sources profondes, which documented his early days as a singer living in the Montmartre section of Paris.[7] He received much recognition for his contributions to Corsican music from the Museum of Corsica[8] and in the 2018 documentary U Tragulinu : Antoine Ciosi, une histoire corse.[9]
Ciosi died in Corbara on 4 October 2026, at the age of 94.[10]
