Rosa Balistreri

Rosa Balistreri was a sicilian singer and musician. Her hoarse voice charged with melancholy and strong personality made her a Sicilian icon of the twentieth century, much like the writer Leonardo Sciascia, the poet Ignazio Buttitta and the painter Renato Guttuso, who counted all three among her admirers. She is known for singing in her native Sicilian language.
