    A Piedi Nudi
    tribute to Rosa Balistreri
    It is a music path, outlined at the beginning of 2014 by unusual sound fields where a voice, a harpsichord and the tools used as percussions, such as sieves with lentils, pots, thimbles, and Kajon, met each other to tell a human and music story of an extraordinary woman, who put on her first pair of shoes when she was fifteen, and a tribute to her Sicilian folk music: Rosa Balistreri.

    A Piedi nudi is a performance, is the meeting between Rosa, her music, her strength and the discret mooving of two artists, who follow and feel her breath.

    �La splendida voce di Alessia Arena rendeva al meglio le passioni, la rabbia, l�amore, ma anche l�ironia e la voglia di vivere della Balistreri e delle sue canzoni. (...) con la bravura e la professionalit� che vediamo, giorno per giorno, col Duo Ammatte.� Francesco Giuffrida

    �Cantante di multiforme ingegno...Il programma che le due artiste propongono � davvero insolito e difficilmente catalogabile: fin dal titolo (in siciliano) Ammatte che indica l�estro dell�improvvisazione piuttosto che la normativa dei repertori.� Sergio Sciacca

    Rosa Balistreri (1927-90), ebel woman with open mind, who in Florence of the 60’s, dedicating herself to folk music of the her land, Sicily, could redeem her extraordinary dramatic life (raped by her husband, who then try to kill, the jail, the attempted suicide, a sister murdered by her husband, a father suicide victim), and finally scream violence suffered by a sexist and violent society.
