It’s a golden time for Deliathe young singer born in 1999 who grew up between Paternò and Catania, who chose her mother tongue to give voice to her intimacy. On the stage of the May Day concert in Piazza San Giovanni in Rome, she had the honor of singing Bella ciao the song symbol of partisan resistance during the Second World War.
As? Reinterpreting it in a mashup with Sicilian folk song and replacing the word “partisan” with “human being”. “We must always sing it” said the artist at the end of his performance, “as long as there is someone who claims the right to decide who should live and who should die». But his choice did not go unnoticed. The audience at the concert was moved, also by his vibrant interpretation, the people of the web went wild. «The word “partisan” replaced by “human being”» wrote a user «is something that makes your ears bleed, unacceptable Delia, unacceptable». And again “he shouldn’t have allowed himself to change the word in a symbolic, heartfelt and representative song”.
Delia responded to the criticism like this: «Making this change does not mean not taking a position, but broadening given everything that is happening these days. The war. Using the word human makes it clear that it’s not just a thing of the pastwhat happened in Italy with the Resistance, but something that still happens today.”
But who is Delia? Delia Buglisi is a singer-songwriter who intertwines folk and popular singing. She became famous by participating in this latest edition of X Factor led by coach Jacke La Furia, reaching the final with her Sicily Bedda.
