Maria Mazzotta is one of the most powerful and distinctive voices emerging from the traditions of Southern Italy.

First gaining international recognition through her work with Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, Mazzotta blends the ancient sounds of the Mediterranean with contemporary influences, creating performances filled with emotional intensity, rhythm, and deep cultural resonance.

SAMA: Music + Art is honored to bring her to Seattle for a special performance at the Rainier Arts Center on December 12, 2026.
