Caterina Bueno (2 April 1943 – 16 July 2007) was an Italian singer and folk music historian.
Starting in the 1960s, her research and performances of Italian folk songs, particularly those ofTuscany, are credited to bringing a new awareness of Italian folk music.
Bueno was born in San Domenico di Fiesole to her Spanish father, painterXavier Bueno, and Swiss mother, the writerJulia Chamorel. She taught herself to play the guitar and collected folk records, generally of Tuscany origin. She became active at the l'Istituto Ernesto De Martino and later the magazineNuovo Canzoniere Italiano.
She has worked with many artists in her career includingFrancesco De Gregori who dedicated his song "Caterina" to her.[1]
Bueno was also featured in the 1999 Italian folk collection CDThe Great Ladies of Italian Folk Music (Buda Musique)
