Etymology

From Corsican.

Noun

voceru (plural voceri)

1. A traditional lament from Corsica.
   • 2003, David Abram, Rough guide to Corsica:

     Often, the voceru would be followed by a dance called the caracolu, in which the women would process around the table in darkness. And woe betide any of the men who failed to heed their wives' and daughters' call to arms

   • 2003, Tullia Magrini, Music and gender: perspectives from the Mediterranean:

     The voceru for a victim of violent death belongs to the world of the vendetta, which dominated village life in Corsica until the 1930s.
