Pippo Pollina (Palermo, 1963) is a Sicilian-Swiss singer-songwriter and composer who has been one of the most distinctive voices in the European cantautore tradition for over thirty years. He grew up in Palermo, studied law and classical guitar, and was active in the anti-mafia movement as a young man. After leaving Italy in 1985 and travelling the world, he settled in Zurich, where he was discovered busking in Lucerne. Since then he has released more than 25 albums, written over 250 songs, and performed more than 3,000 concerts across Europe and beyond - collaborating with Franco Battiato, Patent Ochsner, Schmidbauer & Kälberer, and the Dutch ensemble Palermo Shooting.
Pippo Pollina released his new album 'Fra guerra e pace' (Between War and Peace) on December 5, 2025 via Jazzhaus Records - a pacifist statement about contemporary conflicts.
The 'La vita è bella così com'è' tour for 2026 was announced, with concerts in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands.
Pippo Pollina toured Switzerland, Germany and Austria in January 2026 with the Quartetto Acustico.
On September 30, 2026, Pippo Pollina performs at the Lantaren/Venster in Rotterdam as part of his European autumn tour.
