Singer Simona Barbera was born in Genoa to Sicilian immigrant parents. Her grandfather was a revered troubadours and custodian of local traditions and sacred mysteries. On her album ‘Mirto’, she brings new life to the musical heritage of Sicily, showing herself to be a true shaman in her work with her strong voice, lyrical harmonies, and poetic language.

Her compositions belong stylistically to the female ‘lamenti’, whose origins lie in the Greek tradition of the island: sweet, slowly flowing melodies, fervent prayers, wailing laments, and screams bordering on madness.
