Francesca Incudine

Francesca Incudine is a captivating Italian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist rooted in Sicily’s rich cultural tapestry. Known for blending traditional Sicilian folk sounds with contemporary indie-folk and world music influences, her work—like the earthy "Ciuri i Limuni" or haunting "Malalingua"—often weaves poetic storytelling in both Italian and Sicilian dialect, honoring her heritage while exploring modern themes. Her recent releases, including the hypnotic "Sidun" and percussive "Tarakè," showcase her knack for merging acoustic textures with subtle electronic touches, creating a sound that feels both ancient and fresh.

Daughter of musician Mario Incudine, Francesca grew up immersed in Sicily’s folk traditions but adds her own rebellious spirit to the mix, collaborating with artists like Agricantus and performing at festivals across Europe. Whether she’s channeling protest lyrics or crafting delicate ballads, her music carries an urgent, intimate quality that’s made her a rising voice in Italy’s alternative folk scene.
