Michela Musolino is a very special person who I met several years ago while performing in Manhattan.  A singer of Sicilian music, her melodic voice is a reflection of the past and present, of the agony and joy of a people proud of who they are and wedded to their land and family.

These images were made at a concert in Selinunte, Sicilia in 2007 in honor of Pino Veneziano, a Sicilian songwriter and social activist in the style of Arlo Guthrie. Rocco Pollina (glasses and black hair), Enzo Gilberti (sax) and Massimo Alo' are some of the members of the world music group, MONDO with whom she performed that not to be forgotten evening.

"Songs of Trinacria" is her first CD and is a lesson in the beauty of Sicily and Sicilian culture.
