Internationally recognized Sicilian-American singer Michela Musolino, the granddaughter of Sicilians who immigrated to America, explores cultural roots and shares them with the world  through the study and reinterpretation of the folk songs of Sicily and Southern Italy.

With voice and frame drum, Michela Musolino 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!

A love for her roots set Musolino on a course of a liftime  of exploration of the musical traditions of Sicily—returning again and again to Sicily and Italy to research, discover, and perform a tradition of music first identified as its own entity in the mid-1400s: Sicilian Folk Music.

Having grown up listening the language and  music from two worlds, Musolino now weaves the ancient and the modern into melodies, and allures with a voice that seems to float between the ages. Musolino has sung in medieval castles and ancient Sicilian temples, NYC landmarks, honky tonks and national folk festivals, connecting audiences in a brotherhood of shared emotions and experiences, conveyed in the songs of her repertoire.
