Chiara Civello

Chiara Civello, originally from Rome, has split her life between Italy, the United States, and Brazil. Neither pop nor jazz, far from musical classifications, her music could be described by a series of oxymorons: naturally sophisticated, global, and Italian. She developed artistically in Boston and New York, coming into contact with figures such as Burt Bacharach and Tony Bennett, who called her the best jazz singer of her generation; she was the first Italian to record for the legendary Verve label. In Brazil, she found another home, collaborating with Chico Buarque, Ana Carolina, Maria Gadù, Gilberto Gil, Daniel Jobim, and many others. An adventurous artist and woman, she has absorbed the cultures of the continents she has traveled through and today speaks and sings in English, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and French, never settling permanently in a city or in a specific style.
