Marie Sauvet
Marie Sauvet (born 5 February 1953) is a French musician. She was a founder and lead performer, singing and playing several instruments, of the band Malicorne from its formation in 1973, as a pioneer of the revival of traditional music in contemporary formats.[1] She is also known as Marie Yacoub and Marie de Malicorne Life and careerSauvet was born in Meudon on 5 February 1953.[2] She met Gabriel Yacoub, who had been interested first in American folk music of Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie[1] and real American traditional music but became interested in traditional French music.[3] Before founding Malicorne, she and Gabriel Yacoub recorded the experimental album Pierre de Grenoble in 1973.[4][5][6] This was originally intended to be the name of the group. It included contributions from Breton guitarist-singer Dan Ar Braz.[7] In 1973 they co-founded Malicorne, to revive traditional French music[3] and combined modern instruments, including guitar, electric guitar and bass guitar, with traditional instruments such as bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy and krumhorns.[1][5] Marie played electric dulcimer, bouzouki and hurdy-gurdy, while Gabriel played guitars, mandolin, Epinette des Vosges and banjo. They made a number of successful albums, of which the 1976 Almanach was regarded as the most popular.[5] After disbanding for the first time, at the end of 1981, Malicorne reformed in different configurations in 1984, in 1986 and again from 1987 to 1989.[4] The group played in its original line-up for a single concert on 15 July 2010, in La Rochelle.[5] In August 2017, a concert in Paimpol, as part of the Festival du chant de marin de Paimpol (Shanty Festival), was the band's last appearance.[4][6] DiscographySauvet made many recordings, some as Marie Yakoub, many with Gabriel Yacoub (before, during and after Malicorne), as lead singer and musician with Malicorne.
