Since I was young I have drawn near to the world of art and music, discovering
the marvellous world of Brazilian and Jazz composers. My life has always been filled
with emotions closely related to art. I could never live without painting, engraving,
restoring works of art and …music. I studied jazz singing and attended many workshops
and seminars. For years I have been presenting myself before my audience with a
repertoire that touches all the colours of Brazilian music from the fine bossa nova
to samba, including some traditional jazz songs. I have shared the stage with famous
national and international artists. Jobim, Manescal, Lyra, Barroso, Rosa, Powell,
Veloso, Cayammi, Gershwin, Brown, Ellington, Burke, Fisher and Garner are basically
my favourite artists to interpret.
Presently
I'm the female voice of the Papua Jazz big band, founded by the drummer
Carmelo Barbagallo (Augusto Martelli, Kim Arena, Gianni Bella, Marcella Bella,
Italian Sound, and so forth..); the singer of the jazz quintet that, due to the
kindness of my colleagues, has been named after me, with Adriano Raniolo
(sax), Giovanni Arcuri (piano), Andrea Alemanno (upright bass) and
Carmelo Barbagallo (drums); the singer of the M.P.B. Project, with
Pietro Aldieri (guitar), Giuseppe Giacobbe (bass) and Ercole Cantello
(drums). The band offers an imaginary trip through the wonderful Brazilian music
world, combining the songs of its most famous authors of all time with intense enacted
sequences.
I've been working for several years with the film director Salvatore
Arimatea. I made part of the sound track for his last film "Buonanotte Fiorellino",
(with Tano Cimarosa, Elisa Franco, Loredana Cannata, Mario Opinato, Tony Sperandeo,
Gilberto Idonea etc...) Other artists who participated in the sound track are
Angelo Branduardi, Pietro Aldieri, Arnaldo Rotella and Adolfo
Crisafulli.
