CAROLINA BUBBICO
«Vocàlia»
GroundUp Records New Album Tour
FEAT: Filippo Bubbico-Gabriel Prado

The Vocàlia Live Tour presents the fourth album by Carolina Bubbico, to be released on April 10, 2026 on the US label GroundUp Music, preceded by two singles “Everlove” and “Uma Rosa e Um Bordado”.
Vocàlia is a love letter to life and a message of hope dedicated to future generations. Conceived as a multilingual vocal orchestra, the project is rooted in a deeply transformative period of the artist’s life, motherhood, experienced as a moment of rebirth, change, and renewed creative clarity.
Inspired by the Latin word for vowels, the project imagines a poetic world where the voice becomes an expansive vehicle for ancestry, femininity, and collective expression.

The title Vocàlia draws from Latin origins and refers to vowels, the fundamental elements of language and singing. Here, the voice becomes the absolute protagonist: feminine, collective, ancestral. After fifteen years of research into vocal polyphony, through loop-based performance and choral ensembles, Bubbico takes on the challenge of creating music arranged exclusively for voices, shaping a cohesive and contemporary sound.

Vocàlia unfolds as a living vocal organism: voices create call-and-response patterns, harmonic textures, and rhythmic structures, at times evoking brass sections, string ensembles, or percussive layers. The creative process flows as a musical stream of consciousness, symbolically represented by a crocheted doily, each thread, like each voice, interwoven into a complex yet balanced structure.

The album features lyrics in multiple languages, written in collaboration with Becca Stevens, Greta Panettieri, Giuseppe Anastasi, Simona Severini, Lauryyn, Antonio Villeroy, and Cristiana Verardo, exploring themes of rebirth, resilience, simplicity, and love for life.
Two special guests appear on the record: Becca Stevens on Everlove and Mari Jasca on Uma rosa e um bordado.

Rhythmic elements were recorded by Finnish percussionist Abdissa Assefa, whose work draws from diverse global musical traditions. The album is produced by Filippo Bubbico, who also performed and processed the synth bass parts, contributing to the project’s contemporary and exploratory sound.
