    Sicilian

    Alternate names: Calabro-Sicilian, Sicilianu, Siculu
    Dialects: Western Sicilian (Palermo, Trapani, Central-Western Agrigentino), Central Metafonetica, Southeast Metafonetica, Eastern Nonmetafonetica, Messinese, Isole Eolie, Pantesco, Southern Calabro. Distinct enough from Standard Italian to be considered a separate language. Pugliese (see Italian) and Southern Calabrese are reported to be dialects of Sicilian.

  • Rosa Balistreri

    Rosa Balistreri (Licata, 21 di marzu di 1927 — Palermu, 20 di sittèmmiru 1990) is one of the greatest Sicilian singer.

    She covered also the classic Mi votu e mi rivotu, a Sicilian popular song that is one of the most poignant and harrowing pieces concerning lover's absence.

    Her page in the Sicilian Wikipedia is here.
    And a good page with her biography (in Italian) here.
