“I have always sung to life and love and in doing so, I have also sung to death, absence… and loss, because that part of me that aspires to touch the luminous, coexists daily with darkness”.

“There are those who say that love and passion will carry us ultimately to death, that the flood that they unleash will drag us without redemption. The intense struggle between the fear of loss and pain and the unstoppable impulse to plunge, to take a leap and take risks because that is what life is for, have always been at the heart of my singing, also as a constant impulse. And always with the abstract presence of death at one side, as a quiet, yet familiar companion”.

“All this is Diluvio (Flood): songs of love and absence, of longing for what has collapsed, of joy for what we have and that perhaps will not linger, of courage and daring because it is necessary to fight for that space of light that, brief as it may be, is there for us to make it ours. Life and death embraced”.
