Mona Lisa
Cat's New Single
Mississauga musician Cat Bernardi, releases "Mona Lisa"--her original Italian translation of the classic jazz standard, popularized by Nat King Cole. In this exposed acoustic rendition, you'll hear the delicate and sensitive guitar playing of Antonio Cocuzzo, who also adds Italian flare with lush lines on the mandolin. The song was co-arranged by Cat Bernardi and composer/arranger Thomas Francis, who were inspired by Italian film composer Ennio Morricone's melodic approach to story-telling. This single and its accompanying music video was supported by a 2022 MAC MicroGrant award.
