Amara Terra Mia - Amanda Pascali

Addison Freeman (mandolin) and Amanda Pascali (guitar) perform Amara Terra Mia, (this bitter land of mine).
The melody and chords originally belong to an old folk song by the olive pickers of the Abruzzo region. In the mid-20th century, Domenico Modugno turned it into a pop song with Italian lyrics no longer about working in the fields but about something much more pressing at the time, and still pressing today: the feeling of leaving your home. Whether referring to the internal migration within Italy that is still occurring today, internal migration within the US, or worldwide immigration in general, this song with ancient roots is still relevant over half a century after its inception.

Thank you so much! My family came from Abruzzo at the beginning of the 20th century to America. The thought of them singing this is heartbreaking, and makes me so glad for their sacrifices.

I am from United States and I am Sicilian descent. I just subscribed and I glad I found you. I will share your videos with cousin in Castledaccia.

Non sarebbe male un set di 20 canzoni tra la Sicilia e l'america, un tour nei locali d'Italia, da nord a sud, datti tempo un anno, fare più date che puoi, sarebbe un curriculum perfetto per una artista eclettica come te... Si sentirà parlare sempre di più di te, sei bravissima, ci metti l'anima, hai talento, sei bella... Ricordati e salvati questo messaggio
