https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-EluJs1ZuY At the beginning of 2017 Antonio Dimartino & Fabrizio Cammarata, two singer-songwriters from Palermo, Sicily, dropped this enchanting album: Un Mondo Raro.
At the first listen I could already smell the sea and the sand, hear the waves, and see the ships weighing anchors from harbors where hundreds of yellow dim lights enlighten late-night bar customers who sing together songs of lost loves and long sailing journeys, while throwing their fish-bones to straw cats and holding their red wines, more faithful than the women of their lives. However, I could not make sense of the sound, which goes beyond our Italian shores, and I guessed the two musicians borrowed some Spanish traditional sounds but no...
They crossed the ocean and went as far as Mexico and I discovered the album is inspired by the Mexican ranchera singer Chavela Vargas, a woman I unfortunately knew nothing about before encountering Un Mondo Raro.
My favorite two picks from the album are Croce d’Addio (link above) and Verde Luna https://open.spotify.com/track/38vv0ztFOjJ6hQEEgtEm2u of which the originals by the amazing Chavela Vargas are the following:

I am grateful that two Italian talented musicians paid their homage to a personality such as Chavela Vargas, reinterpreting some of her most beautiful songs, and making the ocean shorter between our two different local music traditions, telling the stories of an, indeed, “mondo raro”, rare world.
The album is part of/accompanies a research, which is also a book, about the life of Chavela Vargas: the title is también “Un Mondo Raro”. More of the album, and some info in Italian about it, can be found here:

Sanft geleitet uns der reizende gebürtige Palermitaner, der seine Inspiration vor allem aus seiner Heimat und dem Mittelmeer zieht, in seinen melodischen Folk und Blues, dabei vereint er zusätzlich in seinen Songs die Einflüsse südamerikanischer und afrikanische Rhythmen – ein fantastisches Zusammenspiel.

The lovely native Palermitan draws his inspiration mainly from his homeland and the Mediterranean. He gently entices audiences with his melodic folk and blues, meanwhile, his songs are also influenced by South American and African rhythms - a fantastic combination.
Fabrizio indicates in a laid back way, the search for musical honesty, combining love of detail in his music - a completely distinct elegant sound.
A household name of the Italian music scene, with his debut album "The Second Grace" getting heavy rotation on MTV as well as a lot of radio station airplay, and it went on to be an award-winning success. This year he comes to Melodica Festival Berlin. Gli porgiamo il benvenuto e attendiamo!
