About Patric
Born 1949. Patric is a French singer.
Biography At the end of the 1960s, Patric was a student in Montpellier, a pupil of Robert Lafont. Patric became one of the first to sing in Occitan, spearheading the Nòva cançon movement. He takes his first name as his stage name, since he often was confused with another Occitan singer Claudi Martí. His first lyrics address the themes of the Occitan claim—problems of Languedoc viticulture, youth discomfort, refusal of uprooting, and internal colonialism.
Patric writes his own songs in both Occitan and French, as well as covering songs in Occitan by other singers such as Lluís Llach and Bob Dylan. In 2012, he recorded a CD of his songs translated into Esperanto. Most of his albums are published on his own record label Aurora production, founded in 1990.
In 2020, he published his autobiography and on the movement of the "Nòva cançon", written in the Occitan language.
