Maria Pia De Vito is among the most loved Italian vocalists even beyond the borders of the country. She has always accustomed us to original projects that are always high profile, albeit in different expressive fields, from the love for Brazilian music, to that for the authors of the Great American Songbook, to American singer-songwriter music and for the Neapolitan singing tradition. This Woman's Work, sealed by the Parco della Musica Records album, features a brand new quintet. This new work is based on original compositions by De Vito and Bortone, collective compositions and reinterpretations of songs from various sources, from the jazz of Tony Williams, Ornette Coleman, to the songwriting of Elvis Costello and Kate Bush, to elements of English and American folk. A reflection on the female condition and on the survival strategies that women have been adopting for centuries. The inspiration for the lyrics comes from authors such as Virginia Woolf, Rebecca Solnit, Margaret Atwood. An eclectic project in which De Vito's vocal interpretation is supported by unique and innovative talents from the new Italian scene.
