Editor's note

Carmen Consoli, Sicily's folk-rock storyteller

An Italian singer-songwriter who blends folk, rock, and Mediterranean sounds with a steady band.

For a good sense of her range, try 'Gamine Impertinente' or 'Venere'. They frame her sound well, part rock, part something more Mediterranean.

She started writing songs at 15, influenced by Joni Mitchell and Patti Smith, and her debut 'Due Parole' in 1996 set a tone that's lasted. Songs like 'Gamine Impertinente' show her knack for mixing straightforward rock with reflective, personal lyrics. Even after a multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2002, she kept recording, with albums up through 2020's 'Volevo Fa' l'Americana'.

Born in Catania in 1974, she released her first album in 1996 and followed with records like 'Mediamente Isterica' in 1998 and 'Stato di Necessità' in 2000. She's worked with the same core band for years, including guitarist Carmelo Pipitone, and has put out music regularly, from 'Eva Contro Eva' in 2008 to more recent work.

Carmen Consoli was born in Catania, Sicily in 1974. Her father was a jazz enthusiast, and she started writing her own songs around age 15, drawing from artists like Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and Patti Smith.

She followed that with albums like 'Mediamente Isterica' in 1998 and 'Stato di Necessità' in 2000. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2002 but kept recording and performing.

Consoli has worked with a fairly steady band over time, including guitarist Carmelo Pipitone, bassist Massimo Roccaforte, and drummer Marco Siniscalco.
