Silvia Passiflora submitted Florentinae: Spoken Word Concertinas in Sacred Gardens for Grammy® Consideration in Best Spoken Word Poetry Album.
Florentinae gathers seven spoken-word concertinas, each blending poetic narrative with live one-take ukulele performance, recorded exactly as performed on stage. These works move between ancestral memory, mythic retelling, and contemporary reckoning — from the fierce voice of Machete Mama to the WWII battlefield witness of Those Who Held the Line and the haunted lyricism of The Man with the Blue Ukulele. Together, they create a living archive of Southern Gothic poetics, rooted in the garden and reaching toward civic memory.
All recordings are uncompressed, high-resolution 24-bit masters, performed on ukulele and voice in single takes, designed for long-term archival preservation and ready for film or civic presentation.
All works written and performed solely by Silvia Passiflora
Produced by John Pineiro
Recorded and mastered at Perfect Image Recording, Nashville
Metadata engineered by Silvia Passiflora
Commercially released on major platforms (except Spotify) on August 4, 2025
