Mondo Cinema was born in 1962, when the Italian documentary Mondo Cane by Paolo Cavara, Gualtiero Jacopetti & Franco Prosperi was released. These sensationalist films, or pseudo-documentaries, aimed to shock the average 1960s movie-going audiences, with an emphasis on the taboo subjects of the day.

CAM Sugar proudly presents 2 cult soundtracks from this classic sub-genre of Italian film, Mondo Cane & I Malamondo, set to be released on CD, Vinyl & all DSP.

Both scores have been carefully restored and remastered, presented in original, authentic artwork and manufactured in Italy.

A cult-film documentary from 1962, directed by Paolo Cavara, Gualtiero Jacopetti & Franco Prosperi. This film saw great international success, winning awards at the 15th Cannes Film Festival, and is often seen as the film that gave real life to the cinematic strand of sensationalist documentaries - termed Mondo-Movie.

The soundtrack has a cult following also, innovative and modern, influences that span from jazz to exotica. It won a Grammy and nominated for the Oscar in 1963.
