Marianna Mammone aka Big Mama wrote the song “Veleno” while undergoing chemotherapy. In 2020, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, a malignant blood tumor. “Without chemo, I would have died. I recorded this song live on the piano. The great Mark Harris, historic pianist of Fabrizio De André and former Napoli Centrale player, performs it on the album. Music has always been my medicine. Even though last year hurt me,” he said today in an interview with Messenger. In which she reveals that the elimination of Sanremo Giovani put her in crisis: “I began a psychological journey to recover. I was convinced that I wasn't worth enough.” His new album Blood will be published tomorrow. The lyrics are based on his life experience.
Blood and poison
“Remember when you rocked me? / Now you got a girl with these tubes connected,” is one of the lines in the song about her chemotherapy. In another post, she talks about her bisexuality: I've always been afraid of hiding my sexuality, having grew up in a small town. But as soon as I discovered it, I felt more free than ever.” And she explains that she “approached the sexual sphere when I was very young. I used to take my dad's PC and go to porn sites. I remember that the images I looked at were predominantly female. I was just afraid of judgment. Then, when I opened myself up to living experiences with people of the same sex, I understood that it was my true happiness.” And in his sector, he talks about homophobic and transphobic texts from authors who are in reality homosexuals: “When you talk about something, it's because it hurts you in one way or another. Maybe you're not capable of accepting yourself. I don't want to hurt anyone, but it It's like that.”
