Carmen Consoli
Carmen Consoli (born September 4, 1974 in Catania , Sicily ) is an Italian cantautrice .
Career
Her career began in her hometown of Catania , where she first appeared in clubs with her band Moon Dogs's Party with songs by various authors, including her guitarist Massimo Roccaforte.
After some appearances on Italian television, her breakthrough came with her appearance at the Sanremo Festival in 1996 . Her song Amore di plastica from the album Due parole became her first success. She returned to the festival in 1997 with the song Confusa e felice from the album of the same name, but did not reach the final.
Another successful album, Mediamente isterica , came onto the market in autumn 1998 . In 2000 she was back on stage in Sanremo , this time with the piece In bianco e nero from the album Stato di necessità . The songs Parole di burro and L'ultimo bacio also come from this album , the latter being the title song of the film of the same name (German: One last kiss ).
The following albums L'eccezione (2002) and the live recordings from the amphitheater in Taormina ( L'anfiteatro e la bambina impertante ) were also great successes. In 2002 she became the first Italian artist to record an MTV unplugged album.
