Elena Baretta

My name is Elena Baretta, aka ELLE, and I am a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Vicenza. My musical career began at the Music High School, where I studied clarinet, and then continued as a self-taught with sax, guitar and ukulele. At the same time, I carry out research on the voice through the study of modern singing. I am the singer and songwriter of the band Lampi di Maggio, with whom I had the opportunity to perform in Italy and abroad, developing a strong live experience and collective writing. In recent years I have deepened my musical production at Officine Limoni, where I attended the production course and took part in the artistic residency Corpi, an experience that allowed me to further develop my artistic and performative language. In 2026 I released Abya Yala, my first solo album: a project that blends electronics, songwriting and South American musical traditions, born from a research trip between Peru and Brazil. Through this work I explore the dialogue between cultures, identities and transformation, trying to create a bridge between ancestral and contemporary sounds.
