Antonio Smiriglia’s powerful voice is unique and brought him to various collaborations. Peppe
Bara introduced him to the works of the Nuova Compagnia di Canto Popolare founded by Italian
legendary musician and songwriter Eugenio Bennato. For several years he worked with the band
Mokarta. He then became the frontman of Discanto Siculo, before dedicating himself to and
directing the choir Cantori of Galati Mamertino, the keepers of Nebrodi’s oral tradition – with
whom he has four recordings to his credit. He has also collaborated with Italian legend Franco
Battiato and Ambrogio Sparagna of the Orchestra Popolare Italiana (Womex 2009)
