Singer and actress, Tosca is an artist with a natural leaning for research and music experiment.
Over the years she has worked with some of the greatest Italian and international artists, such as: Ivano Fossati, Nicola Piovani, Ennio Morricone, Chico Buarque, Ivan Lins, Riccardo Cocciante, Lucio Dalla, Renzo Arbore, Renato Zero and Ron with whom she won the most popular Italian music happening “Sanremo Festival” in 1996.
In 1997 Tosca won one of the most prestigious Italian cultural awards “Targa Tenco” as “Best Performer” with the album “Incontri e Passaggi” and “Best Album” in 2019 with "Viaggio in Italia", featuring the collective Adoriza. Last but not least she was awarded with two “Targa Tenco” as “Best Song” and “Best Performer” in 2020.
In 2019 Tosca gave her voice for Nicola Piovani’s "L’invenzione di un poeta", receiving a nomination for the “David di Donatello” awards in 2019 as "Best Original Song".
In February 2020, Tosca was back at the “Sanremo Festival”, where she won the “Giancarlo Bigazzi” Prize as “Best Composition” and ranked sixth position. At the same time she won the “Night of the Cover Songs” with a duet of LucioDalla’s“Piazza Grande” together with Silvia Pérez Cruz.
Tosca has released nine studio albums and six theatrical records.
Her latest studio album Morabeza was released in 2019 as a final step of a long journey around the world that started with "Il Suono della Voce” (The sound of the voice - 2014) and “Appunti Musicali dal Mondo” (Musical Notes from the World - 2017).
Morabeza in Teatro World Tour is the title of the international tour where TOSCA presents this lucky album, for which in 2020 she obtained two Tenco plates, best interpreter of songs and best song with Ho amato tutto.
The long tour, which started in Naples on 30 October 2021 and ending in December 2022, will see her perform in some of the most important theatres in Italy and the world.
In fact, in conjunction with the release of the Spanish, French and Brazilian version of Ho amato tutto, adapted respectively by Sílvia Pérez Cruz, Awa Ly and Adriana Calcanhotto, and the launch of the Morabeza album on the Brazilian and Portuguese market for Biscoito Fino - Tosca will be involved in a series of dates across Europe reaching to the Middle Eastern cities of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Algiers, Oran, Istanbul and crossing the ocean to the South American countries of Brazil Uruguay, Paraguay, Peru and finally to the United States.
Tosca is a singer and music researcher who has always been fascinated by the music of the world; she is among the most beautiful and versatile voices on the Italian and foreign scene, as well as having an impeccable technical mastery. Tosca has great elegance and intense creative strength and Morabeza in Teatro World Tour, is intimate, refined and at the same time still in the popular melting pot.
Tosca leads the public into the atmosphere of colour and warmth of an imaginary South American living room. Through continuous dialogue with the musicians, she interprets the songs from the album live, yet still pushing the boundaries of her musical research.
Morabeza is already a colourful polyglot carousel which celebrates the different cultures mixing and influencing each other in a wave of positivity, a bridge between the Italian roots and the music of elsewhere, in particular French, Brazilian, Portuguese and Tunisian. On the stage, Tosca extends the areas of her exploration by embracing the new world sounds of an even larger area of North Africa and by visiting the recent and older repertoire of the Latin musical area between Central and South America.
The texture of the concert has a common thread running through it, sewn by Massimo Venturiello, who also takes care of the staging, taking inspiration from the words of the Canto alla durata by Peter Handke. The scene is set by Alessandro Chiti, where he has Tosca flanked by Giovanna Famulari on cello, piano and vocals, Massimo De Lorenzi on guitar, Elisabetta Pasquale on double bass and vocals, Luca Scorziello on drums and percussion, Fabia Salvucci on percussion and vocals. The musical direction is by Joe Barbieri.
