Nisia
Eredità is the Italian word for ‘inheritance’. With a balance between tradition, personal compositions and arrangements, Nisia interprets also some melodies which are preserved thanks to the work of passionate researchers. This repetory has been a huge source of inspiration for their own compositions. Nisia is formed because of this inheritance: memories of a people, songs which come from far, stories about migration, work, travel, lullabies and festive invitations to celebrate life.
Cd: Eredità van Nisia. Label: Home Records (2013), code: 4445108.
