Vocàlia is the title of Carolina Bubbico’s fourth album, a multilingual, choral, ancestral, and inclusive vocal orchestra. It is her personal act of love toward life: a message of hope she dedicates to her daughter Nina and to all children of the future.

The album took shape during a profoundly transformative phase in her life: motherhood. This experience opened the door to new emotions, moments of crisis, inner shifts, and ultimately a creative rebirth marked by renewed clarity, vision, and drive.

The term Vocàlia, rooted in Latin, refers to the vowels, the essential sounds of language, evoking the raw material from which singing emerges. In this project, Vocàlia becomes a poetic and surreal name, a world where the voice takes on a central, expansive role and embodies femininity, ancestry, and collective expression.

For her, vocal harmony is the highest form of collective sound: an architecture balanced between vertical and horizontal motion, a constant interplay in which every line supports and enhances the lead melody. At the core of the project is the transformation of her voice into a multifaceted melodic and harmonic instrument capable of fulfilling every orchestral function. She carefully sculpts dynamics, timbres, phonemes, and syllabic textures to give each piece its unique character. At times the voice plays in call and response; elsewhere it evokes a brass section, a string ensemble, or becomes a rhythmic engine generating polyrhythms through vocal riffs.
