THE FIRST SOUND (2026)

Deep in the Sardinian highlands, master artisan Giancarlo Murranca shapes his final m’bira from his secluded mountain refuge. Gravely ill yet unbroken in spirit, he pours every remaining breath into the instrument’s carved keys—for him, music isn’t just his craft; it’s the medicine that keeps him alive. Each note he coaxes from the wooden resonator becomes both a farewell and a lifeline, transforming his struggle into pure, resonant sound.
