Mariano Deidda (born 1961) is an Italian singer, musician and songwriter.
Musical style and work
[edit]He has usually been described by the Italian press as a "singer-poet",[1][2] for having dedicated most of his records to setting to music the poems and texts of important writers, in particular Fernando Pessoa. Deidda has dedicated several records to this Portuguese poet and, because of this choice, he regularly publishes and performs live in Portugal, as well as in Italy and other countries.
His peculiar and systematic artistic proposal, which combines literature, jazz and his songwriting style, has been presented and/or awarded in the context of important international events, such as, among others, the 1998 Lisbon World Exposition[3] and Le Festival du Poeme Chanté organised by UNESCO in Beirut (Lebanon) in 2006.[4]
During his career, he has collaborated on his records with musicians such as Miroslav Vitous[5] (Weather Report), Camané,[6] Mafalda Arnauth[7] and Celina Pereira,[8] among other international artists.
In addition to records dedicated to Fernando Pessoa (through the Italian translations of Antonio Tabucchi),[9] he has made other records singing the verses and texts of the Italian writer Cesare Pavese and the Italian writer Grazia Deledda, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1926.
