Mama Corsica Mama Corsica "Mama Corsica" is a song by French singer Patrick Fiori, written in Corsican and French and composed by François Valéry. The song represented France at the Eurovision Song Contest 1993, where it came in fourth place. The song is in praise of Corsica itself, with Fiori likening the island to a mother taking pity on all who come to her. The majority of the song is in French, however Fiori also tells the island ""tonight I am singing in Corsican for you"", which he then does, singing that it is as if the whole world were doing so.
Invasion of Corsica (1794) was defeated by the British fleet at the Battle of Genoa, and for the remainder of the British occupation of the island French privateers and agents regularly landed on the coast. In the aftermath of the successful invasion of Corsica, developments focused on the island's capital Bastia, where a series of personal disputes threatened to derail the government of the island. First Stuart and Elliott engaged in a bitter squabble over control of the military forces on the island which eventually resulted in Stuart's resignation. At about the same time, Elliott was also engaged in preventing Paoli from enacting reprisals
