Lorenza Marino Releases Bilingual Track ‘La Melodia’

Lorenza Marino has just released her bilingual track ‘La Melodia’ - you can read about the track, its origins and influences below, and learn more about Lorenza as an artist. She has previously performed at the Music Mark Conference and represented SIOW Music within Youth Voice panel discussions.

La Melodia

The bilingual track ‘La Melodia’ seamlessly blends the Italian language with Croatian, featuring a Southern Italian melody line, a Spanish sounding guitar and a Balkan accordion. The captivating song Lorenza wrote, touches upon the beautiful trademarks of the city that she calls home (Salerno, Italy) and the other places she has visited that make her feel at home.

These places as described in the Mediterranean have a heartbeat, which will always remain inside of her every time she leaves at the end of Summer. She dedicates this song to the cities in Italy and the Balkans (which she visited for the first time last summer), that are so close in distance, musical influences and historical and cultural pride.

“The atmosphere in the Balkans and my city Salerno will remain in my heart forever and La Melodia, which is a cognate in other languages across the world, is the proof of what it means to write from a place of wholeness, love and freedom of creativity. She is a reminder of the pride I carry, which I wish to share with the world, with the language causing no limitations of were my music will travel.” — Lorenza Marino
