Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This Corsican a cappella male-voice group are world-beaters in the art of discreet self-effacement – no internet homepage, a mere list of their credits in Wikipedia – yet their intricate art has a barbaric beauty, and the re-release of this remarkable CD allows us to savour it.
"Filetta" is a Corsican fern, which accurately symbolises the way their polyphony unfolds. Invited to create music to accompany Seneca's "Medea", they do so with passionate force: though the text is in Corsican, one still gets the whiff of archaic heroism.
