Barbara Eramo

Barbara Eramo is an Italian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose music beautifully bridges traditional Southern Italian folk traditions with modern singer-songwriter storytelling. Hailing from Puglia’s Salento region, she’s deeply rooted in the tarantella-pizzica musical heritage but infuses her work with introspective lyrics and contemporary acoustic arrangements. Her collaborations with iconic folk groups like Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino highlight her commitment to preserving cultural sounds while pushing them into new, personal territories.

Eramo’s recent releases, like *Emisferi* and *Ordinary People*, showcase her knack for blending earthy Mediterranean rhythms with poetic reflections on identity, belonging, and social justice. Tracks from projects such as *Mediterraneo on the Road* and *Corale per i caduti* (a choral tribute to fallen workers) reveal her dual focus on intimate storytelling and communal activism. Whether performing solo or with ensembles, Eramo’s warm, resonant voice and genre-fluid style make her a compelling voice in Italy’s roots-revival scene.
