Kunsertu was a Sicilian band born in the early 80s, who first spent a long period studying and playing their local musical roots and realizing two LPs of Folk music. In the late 80s the band opened their musical horizons first to the Mediterranean cultures and then to the sounds of rock & pop. The group expanded adding new musicians, to the original members. The result was a very unique blend of sounds which were very new not only for Italy but also on the European scene. Since then many things have changed. The world is smaller in many senses (and not always for the better), our ears are now used to very weird sounds and combinations but nevertheless Kunsertu deserve a place in the small history of World Music and the reprint of Shams can give an idea of where some of the things we take for granted in 'world music' started.
