Amanda Pascali Takes Vinyl Voices to Palermo with The Grasshoppers

Amanda Pascali offers a deep dive into Sicilian folk music in this installment. We focus on the songs which took her viral on social media and made her a globally-known artist, one committed to translation of this music for new listeners. She shares her take on singer/songwriter/activist Rosa Balistreri's “Canta E Cunta” – to sing and recount – which she and bandmate Addison Freeman performed with Grasshoppers da Palermo in a wonderful video from Rizzia Studio in Palermo, which is included in this segment.
