Amanda Pascali
Добавлен 25 июл 2010
As the rising voice of America's most ethnically diverse generation of young people, 26-year-old Amanda Pascali writes songs that speak to the experience of growing up as a first-generation American. In 2023 her popularity exploded on social media following several viral videos of her song translations. Amanda’s music, now coined, Immigrant American Folk delivers a powerful narrative on being, “too foreign for here, too foreign for home, and never enough for both.”
Endorsed by the US State Department and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a Fulbright Fellow, she pioneered the first comprehensive project to translate and revitalize Sicilian folk songs. Blending folk/Americana influences with Mediterranean, Balkan, and Latin rhythms Pascali’s songs are powerful tales of America told through the eyes of immigrants and those who have always felt like the “other”.

Roses and Basil (La Siminzina) - Amanda Pascali
"Roses and Basil" written by Amanda Pascali is the first-ever English reinterpretation of the Sicilian traditional song "La Siminzina," (the seeds) dating back to the 1800s or earlier. With echoes of old American lullabies and folk tunes from the Dust Bowl and Great Depression era, it embodies resilience and hope, promising abundance and comfort even in the face of adversity, hunger, and poverty echoing the enduring power of love through generations.

Mi Votu e Mi Rivotu (I Toss and Turn) out everywhere now ffm.to/amandinapascali Mi Votu e Mi Rivotu is the first song I ever translated. It's the song that started it all for me: the mission to translate and revitalize Sicilian folk songs. This song is likely centuries old, however, its subject matter is something that is still relatable now: not being able to sleep, perhaps because you miss or...

I was sitting in his kitchen on a hot day in May, with a cup of coffee and a bowl of gelato. Outside the window, on one side: the sea, and on the other, the mountains of Sferracavallo. Surrounded by vinyl records, paintings, and photographs of Rosa Balistreri, I was meeting Felice Liotti for the first time. It was he who recorded her singing this song on New Year's Eve of 1987. The iconic Rosa ...

Finally, I came across the dubbed italian version of the film "tutti insieme appassionata...

piece by piece we'll build a house to face the sun One by one One by one One by one I wrote this song on the train. We were passing by a field of sunflowers when I noticed that all the flowers were turning to face the sun, in unison. Like sunflowers, my family made a choice to follow the sun, and one by one, they came to America and built the life that my sisters and I are able to have because ...

“There are only patterns, patterns on top of patterns, patterns that affect other patterns. Patterns hidden by patterns. Patterns within patterns. If you watch close, history does nothing but repeat itself." ― Chuck Palahniuk 25 Aprile, Festa della Liberazione. The roots of this song go much further back than WW2. It is based on a protest folk song from the late 19th century. The first recorded...

Hey Amorino - Amanda Pascali (Live)
Que cosa bella es un día soleado, El aire sereno después de una tempestad, Por el aire tan fresco parece un día de fiesta, Que cosa bella es un día soleado, Pero otro sol, qué es aún más bello, El sol mío, Está frente a mí, El sol, El sol mío, Está frente a mí!, Está frente a mí!, Cuando llega la noche y el sol sale de escena, me viene casi la melancolía, Yo estoy parado bajo tu ventana, Cuando llega la noche y el sol sale de escena. Pero otro sol, qué es aún más bello, El sol mío, Está frente a mí, El sol, El sol mío, Está frente a mí!, Está frente a mí!,
Absolutely excellent! Would love to hear you do this all in Sicilian ❤
Ok ben je vais t'épouser.

Adoro quello che fai, hai messo la canzone popolare italiana nello stesso melting pot che ha creato il blues e tutto il resto! Hai appena acceso il frullatore, vedremo cosa ne esce fuori! PS: perché non pescare anche qualche sfumatura di taranta? PPS: Parli italiano meglio di me... non storpiare le parole, almeno tu!
What an absolute delight! How can one not adore this woman?
Her and the other woman signing ❤🔥🔥
Very, very, beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift.
This song was the one that I got to know you with and Im forever thankful 😍😍😍
