Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Black&table

My story has its roots in a ground that is a blend of sound, language, music and literature. I have a BA in Foreign Literatures and Languages ( Brazilian and Anglo-American), took the CELPE - Bras ( Certificate of Proficiency in Brazilian Portuguese ) and studied Jazz singing and Improvisation Techniques at the Accademia Nazionale del Jazz in Siena with Fabrizia Barresi . Other artists helped me in studying and approaching jazz , some of them are: Lisa Thorson, Bobby Watson, the amazing Maria Pia De Vito, Bruno Erminero, , Cristina Emboaba, Tiziana Ghiglioni. So I’m a vocalist , jazzy trained, but musically, vocally, existentially “in searchâ€? . This search took me to Brasil now 5 years ago and filled my heart and voice with gratitude, from the favela Santa Marta in Rio to the small centers of the interior, from the percussive nights in Pelourinho to the soulful intimate talks with my friends in Ribeirao Preto. Brasil revealed my "anthropophagic" ( yes ma’am !) aspect ! My first important works came as a nu-jazz and lounge music interpreter, the song “Por-do-solâ€? was included in the famous Buddha Bar Compilation (vol. VI) and in Outro Brasil, collaboration with producer Giacomo Bondi and the challenging artistic cooperation with Andrea Belli’s nu-jazz project Ostinato , as vocalist, lyricist and composer . I keep singing and performing, researching, writing, being mother, praying, laughing, crying, lovingâ€Ã‚¦in short, living the way I am I put this into my music and into my voiceMinha historia tem suas raizes numa mistura de som, lingua, musica e literatura. Eu me formei em Linguas e Literaturas Estrangeiras em Roma e obtive o CELPE - Bras ( Certificado de proficiencia em Portugues do Brasil). Estudei canto e tecnicas improvisativas com Fabrizia Barresi na Accademia Nazionale del Jazz in Siena e fiz varios workshops sobre jazz e improvisaçao com Lisa Thorson, a maravilhosa Maria Pia De Vito, Cristina Emboaba, Bruno Erminero, Bobby Watson, Tiziana Ghiglioni. Uma cantora, criada com jazz, mas me considero musica, voca e existencialmente falando “à procuraâ€?. E nesta procura acabei aterrando 5 anos atras no Brasil. O encontro com essa terra,seu povo, sua cultura, encheu meu coraçao e minha voz de gratidao : desde a favela Santa Marta no Rio até a cidadizinha do interior onde meus parentes moram, desde as noites percussivas passadas no Pelourinho até as de lindos bate papos com meus amigos em Ribeirao Preto. O Brasil revelou meu lado antropofagico ( sim senhor ¡) Meus primeiros trabalhos de gravaçao foram na area do chill-out com “ Por-do-Solâ€?, uma cançao que foi incluidas na compilation BUDDHA BAR vol.6. Depois vieram as colaboraçoes com o produtor Giacomo Bondi e a participaçao no projeto Nu-Jazz Ostinato de Andrea Belli como cantora, letrista e compositora. Tive a possibilidade de cantar e participar de muitos espaços legais como : Teatro Due , Reggio Parma Festival ; Musika Nel Silenzio Avola (SR) , La Palma Club em Roma, Radio Rai 3 , Radio 101. Continuo estudando, praticando, cantando, compondo, pesquisando, meditando, rezandoâ€Ã‚¦sendo mae, rindo, amando enfim vivendo Tudo isso coloco na minha musica, no meu canto.
