Diana Baroni

Mother Nature – the immense universal mother – MADRE SELVA pays homage to the Earth and its resources through a repertoire that illuminates its power and weakness, its resilience and beauty: a return to the basic gestures of life, whose backbone is the pulse, the beating heart, the breath.

Universal and present in all humanity, beyond temporal or geographical boundaries, MADRE SELVA reminds us through music of the need to return to the essentials, to rituals, to sacred silence.
