Overview

• Amuri Luci arrives on Oct. 3 as a predominantly Sicilian-language album recorded largely live at Consoli’s country home, including a track in Ancient Greek with a Latin prologue.
• The record draws on Sicilian literary figures and history to confront mafia, migration and war, with songs referencing Peppino Impastato and Ignazio Buttitta.
• Collaborations include Mahmood on La terra di Hamdis, Jovanotti on Parru cu tia, and tenor Leonardo Sgroi on Qual sete voi.
• Consoli praised the recent Flotilla-led demonstrations, said she would have sailed from Aci Trezza to deliver aid, and described watching the protests as her son marched in Catania.
• She faulted Italy’s government for delays in aid to Gaza, labeled Benjamin Netanyahu unfit for his role, urged diplomacy over retaliation, and called for unity across the Italian Left, while announcing a theater tour starting Oct. 22 as part of a planned trilogy.
