MUSIC UNITES MANY INFLUENCES
After living in Massachusetts, California and New
Mexico, Annunciata Corazzini has a lifetime''s worth of
experiences and transitions to write about. With a
cultural background that includes African American,
Cherokee and Italian, she also has a vast history from
which to draw stories and ideas. Her Mature,
fine-tuned music represents all of these areas and
more with ethnic, folk, world beat and tribal genres
combined to make some of the most soulful and
beautiful music I''ve ever heard.
Using only a 12-string guitar, vocals and rhythm
instruments, Corazzini expresses the most vulnerable
of emotions without sounding obsure or dramatic.
The swift guitar lines and flowing, layered vocal
harmonies are matched perfectly with the deep tribal
percussion. Her attention to detail is exquisite. Her
music--effortless. The same structure is used for all
10 songs, and there is a nice consistency throughout
the whole CD. The quality and clarity of the
production sounds flawless.
Her music is different from music I am more
accustomed to, and I had difficulty comparing it to
the music of other artists. However, the song "Are You
Lonely?" has the feel of Native American
singer/songwriter Buffy St. Marie, with its
straight-forward melody. "Winter Wind" is slightly
reminiscent of folk singer Melanie. "More Than
Friends" and "Ahoh"(Lakota) slow down a bit and allow
attention to be paid to the messages:. "I always knew
I''d see you smile again/No one ever said goodbye/ It
was hard to see the good in going separate ways/ Time
will tell." "Time Will Tell" is full of sadness, yet
carries hope. That''s the message I came away with
after listening to Corazzini; the struggle for eternal
peace and happiness may be difficult, but there is no
reason to ever stop searching. She obviously hasn''t
stopped searching for the perfect way to discover and
express her inner-most desires and dreams. . . it is
rare to find such sincerity in music today.
Corazzini has played concerts and festivals all
over the Southwest and was featured at New Mexico''s
Songwriter Showcase from 1992 -95. She is a woman
we''ll hear more from in the future.

...Annunciata? Her stuff breathes. It takes in the hot
dry air of the desert and exhales a cool midnight dew
that reflects the stars. It just breathes. . .the way
a spirit breathes. It''s the only way I can describe
it. It''s really, really, good.

...her music is refreshing, and uplifting. I get so
tired of playing ''shoot your grandmother music'', it''s
depressing. But Annunciata just has this great feel-
good music. It just makes you want to get up and dance
and say life IS good.

...to call what she does trance inducing is an
understatement. You simply must experience it for
yourself.
MICHAEL HENNINGSEN
THE ALIBI
...her song on the New Mexico Showcase Compilation CD
is the best of all twenty musical contributions, and
that''s why I play her music on my show. She appeals to
that up-scale bohemian crowd, the ones starving for
good music which never seems to make it to the radio
air waves. No wonder she made the top 20 Band in New
Mexico. She is awesome.
