Maria Carta (24 June 1934 – 22 September 1994) was a Sardinian folk music singer-songwriter.[1] She also performed in film and theatre. In 1975 she wrote a book of poetry, Canto rituale (Ritual Song).
Throughout her 25-year career she covered the richly diverse genres of traditional music of her native Sardinia (Cantu a chiterra, ninne nanne—children's lullabies, gosos, Gregorian chants, and more), often updating them with a modern and personal touch.[1] She succeeded in bringing Sardinian folk music into wider popular awareness in demonstrations at a national level in Italy (like the Canzonissima in 1974) as well as internationally (especially in France and the United States).[2][1]
