Description
The title of this album by Matilde Politi, Viva Santa Liberata, immediately refers to the typical traditional singing of the Sicilians to their reference patron saint. She does not refer to the Santa Liberata of the official hagiography, which also exists and has very interesting symbolic characters (protector of childbirth and of women who have recently given birth) but rather intends to provoke a reflection on the contrast between freedom and holiness, between the female natural vitality and the patriarchal social and cultural rule that stems it.
The style, as in all Politi's record productions, remains as close as possible to tradition. Therefore only acoustic instruments, the bare minimum, the voice, the intertwining voices, guitar strings, violin, mandolin, drum skin, the harmonics of the marranzano, and a barrel organ to suddenly exit the spell and free the energy dancing.
