Album: A Filetta, Intantu (Deda)
Your support helps us to tell the story
My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.
Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.
Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

This Corsican a cappella male-voice group are world-beaters in the art of discreet self-effacement – no internet homepage, a mere list of their credits in Wikipedia – yet their intricate art has a barbaric beauty, and the re-release of this remarkable CD allows us to savour it.
"Filetta" is a Corsican fern, which accurately symbolises the way their polyphony unfolds. Invited to create music to accompany Seneca's "Medea", they do so with passionate force: though the text is in Corsican, one still gets the whiff of archaic heroism.
