Cheerfulness, joie de vivre and bright energies are the intentions I always put into my concerts, regardless of musical style.
I particularly love World music, Ethno Pop and Swing, along with other musical repertoire including Gypsy music (my musical project: Gypsyliana).
Enjoy listening!

NEAPOLITAN MUSIC
“NAPOLI A MODO MIO” (Naples My Way)
Classic Neapolitan music. Famous (and not so famous) ballads, up-tempo and comedic songs of Naples. Beautiful readings from “Napoli sul mare luccica” a book by Antonella Cilento, are intertwined throughout the evening.
A special moment in the show is a tribute to one of the last composers of Neapolitan Song, Fausto Cigliano with his song, Duorme, written in the ‘60s with Ennio Morricone.

“Merav Pal e Parochna”
“Traurige čerheni ando učo nebo”
A sad star at high sky
I have no staying in my apartment.
They took me out of my own bed.
I had to leave my wife and the children.
A sad star in the high sky,
They took me out of my house
And then they took me to the camp
There I was burned to ashes
“My first real success was when during a Christmas concert, in the large foyer of a hospital in Rome, in front of me was sitting in a wheelchair an African woman, infected by her husband already killed by AIDS.
She was listening and clapping her hands, always looking up, then I realized that the disease had made her blind. I approached her and handed her my tambourine, taking her hands so she could feel what kind of instrument it was. The woman grabbed it with confidence and began to play, revealing a smile so happy that it will always remain impressed in the most intense memories of my life. For three minutes, the time of a song, the smiling blind woman had forgotten all the pain and loneliness. After a week I learned that she had died.
I promised myself that to honor her smile, I would always try to sing from my heart to the heart of all the people listening to me.”
