Catch two sets from Michela at 3-3:45 and again at 6-6:45; the Sunday Neighborhood Market runs at the same time.
Sicilian-American singer Michela Musolino has been internationally lauded for her unique ability to reimagine Sicilian folk and roots music, at times even alchemized with renowned American musical genres, to mirror the history and movement of people and their musical traditions from the Old World to the New.
Musolino has sung in medieval castles and Sicilian temples, NYC landmarks, and national folk festivals connecting the audience in a brotherhood of shared raw human emotions and experiences, all expressed in the songs of her repertoire. Michela Musolino, with voice and frame drum 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!”
Michela will be accompanied rollicking accordion and by Sicilian guitarist, Mario Monterosso. Musolino’s fiery interpretations of Sicilian Roots crashing into Monterosso’s American Rockabilly riffs get you dancing and wondering why your grandparents ever left the Old Country…”
The Italians have an old saying, “ Tutto il mondo è paese,” – the whole world is a village, …that we all have so much more in common than we realize. Musolino’s take on Sicilian & American roots music shows that.
