Peplluis de Casfrare – Non toco quod tocarent

Peplluis de Casfrare, a professor with a deep love for the ancient world, is no stranger to pushing boundaries with his music. Known for his academic pursuits and his quest to revive ancient languages, he’s now bringing something truly unique to the music scene. With “Non toco quod tocarent,” he takes listeners on an emotional journey through late ancient Latin, blending history, humor, and heartfelt vulnerability. This track is his first entirely in the V century AD Latin, and it tackles the timeless struggle of trying to understand women—an issue he cleverly compares to the complex art of playing music.

“Non toco quod tocarent” is an evocative reflection of the artist’s own emotional battle, conveyed through powerful imagery and a metaphor of women as music. The repeated phrase “Non toco quod tocarent” (I do not play what they should touch) captures the essence of feeling out of sync, while the lines “Mulier est sicut musica” (A woman is like music) delve deep into the complexities of love and desire. This song isn’t just an academic experiment; it’s a heartfelt exploration of vulnerability and perseverance. Peplluis’ unique blend of ancient Latin and modern emotion makes this song not only a linguistic feat but a deeply relatable experience. Dive into the world of “Non toco quod tocarent,” and discover a track that’s as timeless as it is profound—stream it now and join the journey of understanding.
