Marie Rouanet
Marie Rouanet (Occitan: Maria Roanet, IPA: [maˈɾio̞ rwaˈnet]; 26 May 1936 – 25 January 2026) was a French Occitan singer and writer.
Life and career
Rouanet was born in Béziers, Hérault in 1936. 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.[1]
She released records with the company Ventadorn and wrote several books in French.
Rouanet died on 25 January 2026, at the age of 89.[2]
