Lucia Manca

Lucia Manca is a postmodern Italian singer-songwriter from Lecce, known for her nostalgic, cinematic sound inspired by 1960s–70s artists and the coastal landscapes of southern Italy. Raised in a music-loving family, she embraced songwriting as "expressive freedom," crafting genre-fluid works like her 2018 album *Maledetto o Benedetto* – a modern exploration of love and longing that gained resonance during the pandemic’s performance cancellations. Her collaborations span from Yoko Ono reinterpretations with electronic producer Populous to drawing inspiration from icons like Mina and Angel Olsen.

Blending introspective lyrics with a soulful delivery, Manca’s discography – including tracks like *Ciao tristezza* and *Maledetto e Benedetto* – reflects her commitment to authenticity, gender equality, and artistic risk-taking. Her recent *Attese* series and singles like *Su di me* continue this ethos, balancing melodic warmth with poetic vulnerability.
