Corina Piatti, Maurizio MInardi

Corina Piatti is a singer, songwriter and guitarist, originally from Argentina, whose songs have a strong folk blues sound with a South American flavour.

Corina sings in Spanish, Portuguese and English, reflecting the different cultures from which she has taken her musical inspirations. Brazilian Bossa Nova and Samba, and particularly music by Jobim, are some of her specialities, and when she sings tangos in her native Spanish, you cannot help but admire the authenticity.

Corina's own songs and guitar accompaniment are refreshingly unique in character. Her lyrics, often surrealistic, are delivered with a soulful vocal style that communicates feelings of both calm and excitement at the same time.

Maurizio Minardi accompanies on piano. Maurizio is a composer, pianist, accordionist and saxophonist, based in London. He has been on tour with the Royal Shakespeare Company during the early part of 2012.
