Amazing Talent!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"She is a real Songwriter, Artist and Musician, not some self proclaimed throaty diva who's voice comes from a voice box and can barely handle a guitar, their entertainment at best is only skin deep if you know what I mean (Shakira excluded).

To be frank having worked with many celeb's, Carmen Consoli is one to watch. She has been performing since the age of nine and not only is an acclaimed songwriter/musician but an influential spark in the rock/blues/punk genre.



This Live CD (nicely recorded as live goes) is a best pick of her songs from early '90 - 2002. If you are like some who say; "why would I listen to music that's not in English?" then maybe you've never been out of your home town and it's time for a vacation. Music transcends language, it can speak without words. A friend said once that so-and-so was the best musician and all I could think, was that this person only listens to Top-10 US Radio, how in the world they would know anything about music. This Live CD is moving and electrifying, you really should experience her music.



Noted trac's: 1, 2, 5, 10 and 13. This CD is the best start, I also recommend; 'Confusa e Felice', 'Stato Di Necessita' and the song 'Orfeo' (`return me to life') a live performance at the Greek Taormina is deeply touching and hauntingly beautiful, my favorite."
