Marie Rouanet



Marie Rouanet (Maria Roanet) (born 1936 in Béziers, Hérault) is an Occitan singer and writer.

Her father was a mechanic and she studied to be a school teacher. Since she was very interested in the history and the ethnography of her region, she started to write poems and songs in Occitan and was a member of the so-called Nova Chançon (New Song) along with Patric, Joan-Pau Verdier or Rosina de Pèira. She performed her wedding with Ives Roqueta in Occitan in 1978.

She has released records with the company Ventadorn and written several books in French.
