Diletta Longhi | DIVERSITY

On Diversity, singer-songwriter Diletta Longhi presents eight original songs where jazz, soul and world music meet African and South American rhythms, reggae and contemporary styles. The lyrics explore diversity, nature and human relationships.

Eight songs, many musical languages
