Elena Ledda, Lantias

Sardinia has always been a land of great voices and sonority, mother of the artists who like them test and discover new sounds and colours that, very often, are appreciated only by experts. Elena Ledda is born in Selargius and she is one of the most famous singer-songwriter of Sardinia. She studied at the Conservatory of Cagliari specialising herself in oboe and singing and, despite her mezzo-soprano voice, she preferred to dedicate her works to research, experimentation and fusion of styles between tradition and innovation. Her debut in the world of music is in 1968 when, at only nine years, went onstage in a country festival in Quartucciu. In the seventies, in the wake of cultural activity that animated Sardinia, performes Brecht, Weill, Eisler, dedicates her time to classical singing and promots first philological performances of ancient music and participates at first experiments dedicated to contemporary music. Then she studied the traditional Sardinian music that, in the following years will become her area of concentration. One of the most important voices of the traditional Sardinian and Mediterranean music scene, entertainer of the new Sardinian culture, dramatic soprano with an incredible voice, on over thirty years of music, Elena Ledda has brought all over the world her particular repertoire, from Sardinia to Paris, London, New York etc. her carrier is full of original productions an prestigious collaborations with the greatest protagonists of the national and international cultural scene: renaissance music artists, new age’s ensign, “cantadores”, jazz musicians. In 2018 she has released her 15th album “Lantias” strongly appreciated by music critics thas has defined its “a delicate and suggestive album with a modern cut that elegantly express the Sardinian musical traditions”. Elena Ledda, after the death of Maria Carta, has become the most important feminine music artist of Sardinia and we like us that her song “Nora” is set right here in Nora, in front of our Hotel.
