“Today, wherever you go, you hear the same music:
the Music doesn’t square with the Place.
We play and sing in Sicilian language in order to contrast this trend”

A delightful album of Sicilian songs, beautifully arranged by Matilde Politi, with instrumentation from all around the Mediterranean.
Traditional Sicilian songs and new original compositions by Matilde Politi alternate, representing the mixture of cultures that is sprouting from the multi-ethnic Sicily of these days.
