Vinicio Capossela is an Italian singer-songwriter, poet and novelist. Capossela is renowned for the highly original and poetic lyrics of his songs. Many of them draw from traditions of Italian folk music, especially those of his parents' native Irpinia, part of the Campania province. Some of his songs — especially in the album Marinai, profeti e balene — are inspired by themes and legends from around the world and from world literature, such as Homer, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Joseph Conrad, Herman Melville, John Fante, Oscar Wilde, Alfred Jarry and Geoffrey Chaucer. His musical style has been compared to that of Tom Waits. He also published translations of original songs by other authors, including Bob Dylan, Vladimir Vysotsky and Markos Vamvakaris.
