Michela MusolinoOld World meets New Roots when Sicilian American singer, Michela Musolino, visits Art Boutiki on October 16th. Traditions from Sicily and the Mediterranean come crashing into the rich, musical sounds of contemporary roots music as Michela, with voice and frame drum, intertwines story-telling with musical exploration. Michela will be joined by multi-instrumentalist, Lorenzo Piccone.
Michela Musolino sings songs of daily life, songs of feast days, songs of protest, and songs of love...songs that make your heart sing and your feet dance! It’s a musical genre you recognize with the soul.
Michela - the grand-daughter of Sicilians immigrated to America - explores her cultural roots through the study and reinterpretation of the folk songs of Sicily. Having grown up listening to music from two worlds Musolino now weaves the ancient and the modern into melodies and allures with a voice that seems to float between the ages: at times powerful and expressive, at times intimate and charming. Musolino has sung in medieval castles and ancient Sicilian temples, NYC landmarks, honkey tonks, and national folk festivals connecting audiences in a brotherhood of shared emotions and experiences, conveyed in the songs of her repertoire.
Italian-born country music artist Lorenzo Piccone is renowned for his deep melodies and sentimental lyrics. Piccone, who enjoys Americana and Alt Country, skillfully combines traditional country components with a modern twist to produce a sound that is all his own.
Piccone's music sends listeners on a journey across dusty highways, nostalgic memories, and heartfelt emotions. He draws influence from the vast landscapes and rich musical tradition of both Italy and America. He tells tales of love, grief, and the bittersweet facts of life with his expressive storytelling and unpolished voice, capturing the essence of country music.
