Our guest is the Sicilian singer and multi-instrumentalist Cristina Cusimano AKA Maria Violenza! Andy talks with Cristina about: the music on Maria Violenza's excellent debut full-length album, Scirocco, speaking and singing in Italian, Sicilian, English, and French, and her incredible performances which feature Cristina building her songs live onstage with guitar, synthesizer, and drums via a looping station. Scirocco is available via Kakakids Records now at https://kakakidsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/scirocco. You can watch Maria Violenza perform live via YouTube here.
