The lowest male singing voice type; a male singer with this deep voice register.
From Italian 'basso,' which came from Latin 'bassus,' meaning low or deep, related to the same root as English 'bass.'
Basso singers are rare and highly prized—they're the human equivalent of a tuba section, needed for musical completeness, which is why operatic basso roles often go to distinctive vocalists like Luciano Pavarotti's contemporary James Morris.
