Songs from Southern Italy and Beyond: Maria Mazzotta

Maria Mazzotta is one of the most powerful and distinctive voices emerging from the traditions of Southern Italy where music has long served as a vessel for storytelling, ritual, protest, and celebration. Her repertoire moves between haunting emotional laments and stunningly intense rhythmic energy as she seamlessly blends the traditional sounds of her region with Balkan melodies and contemporary influences.

Maria gained international recognition through her work with the famed Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino and now tours with her trio Della Monica on drums and Nobili on guitar. She has countless collaborations including with Bombino, Raül Refree, Carlos Saura, Ballake Sissoko, Rocío Molina, Bobby McFerrin, Miguel Angel Berna and others.

This concert offers a rare opportunity to experience an artist who redefines folk music as something living, urgent, and deeply human.
