We had the very special experience to attend a performance— at Manhattan’s Symphony Space—of the extraordinary music troupe of Teresa De Sio, an artist and historian of Southern Italian folk music. She sings both traditional and re-interpreted Napolitano songs accompanied by electric violin, two guitars, electric bass, percussionist and full drum set. The audience was wild. This video is poor, shot with a phone camcorder, but the sound quality is pretty decent. Click on the Youtube image to share in the experience!

People wondered why I sang a Sicilian tune for my album back in ’06. I couldn’t seem to express in words what my heritage meant to me. The ‘true musicians’ who heard my album told me I should do what DeSio is doing and stick to my roots because it was so ‘true’ to who I am.
I love this video… Very inspiring.
