Kavisha Mazzella visits Italy to find traditional songs. She interviews musicologist Professor Ugo Vuoso about how the songs are recorded for posterity.
This clip shows singer–songwriter Kavisha Mazzella in Ischia, an island in the Mediterranean off the coast of Italy near Naples, where she went to record traditional folk songs. Mazzella is shown arriving by ferry to be met by her father and grandmother. In a voice-over she explains that, as a teenager, she rejected her Italian heritage, but now wants to keep what she sees as a dying music tradition alive by recording and performing it. She is then seen speaking to musicologist Professor Ugo Vuoso, who records and studies the music of Naples and the Mediterranean region. The clip includes footage of Ischia and traditional folk music performed and sung by Mazzella.
