Narciso Records

Narciso Records is an Italian independent record label and music publishing house based in Catania, Sicily. It was founded in 2000 by the Sicilian singer-songwriter Carmen Consoli, who created the label in her home city as a production house dedicated to promoting artists whose sounds and lyrics draw on the Sicilian tradition. The label describes its mission as building a musical laboratory that carries forward this research and discovers new talent. Although the label's stated focus is Sicilian folk-rooted music, its first production was actually by the Tuscan band La Camera Migliore, whose self-titled album appeared in 2003 and was followed by "Cari miei" in 2005; the band later disbanded in 2006. The effort to bring Sicilian folk music to national prominence came in 2003, when the Lautari were signed after meeting Carmen Consoli. Their album "Anima Antica" was released in 2004, followed by "Arrè" in 2007 and "C'era cu c'era" in 2012. The roster grew over time. In 2006 the label released the EP "Mutevoli sensazioni" by Agata Lo Certo, and in the same year the frame-drum master Alfio Antico began collaborating with Narciso. Other releases include Fabio Abate's "Itinerario precario" (2010), Le Malmaritate's "Ognuno havi 'n sigretu" (2014), and Luca Madonia's "La monotonia dei giorni" (2015). In 2017 the label released "Vussia Cuscienza" by the Sicilian singer-songwriter Gabriella Lucia Grasso, which was nominated for the Targa Tenco award for Best Album in Dialect that year. On 8 May 2020 the label released the single "I pesci non invecchiano mai" by the Catania singer-songwriter Brando Madonia, a preview of his first solo album. In 2025 the label released Carmen Consoli's album "Amuri luci". Narciso Records operates as a private, independent Italian label and publisher, with Carmen Consoli as its founder and owner. Its catalogue is distributed digitally and physically, and the label maintains an online presence through its official website and channels such as YouTube, Discogs, MusicBrainz and Genius.com.
