SARDAIGNE - RAIGHINAS - MARINA PITTAU -
Marina Pittau was born in Cagliari, Sardinia. From her earliest childhood, she was inspired by the music she heard around her and she taught herself to sing and play the guitar. For the past ten years or so she has been living in Geneva, where she teaches music and singing, but she returns to Sardinia regularly, and it was there that this recording was made, with some of the island’s most remarkable musicians. And the result meets all our expectations, with a colourful mixture of the ‘musical mysteries’ of Sardinia, including fascinating instruments such as the launeddas, and the cosmopolitan sensibility of this very fine singer.
