Mari Boine - Gula Gula (Chilluminati Remix)

"I was born in Milan in 1985. I started to be interested in music quite soon...when I attended the secondary school. During this period, I took piano lessons, but I wasn't a good pupil at all! I didn't study enough...I rather prefered to compose my own melodies and make my friends listen to them: here begins my story!

In the following years, I was so lucky to meet some wonderful persons, who helped me to keep on my musical research in a concrete way: infact, I joined some non-professional theatre productions, based here in Milan, who asked me to compose songs for them. I wrote several songs for stage and this experience was a very important school, for me.

But one day, I felt the need to write music just for myself. Music was becoming, for me, something more important than an hobby. I understood that, through music, I could be able to convey all my feelings, all my emotions. At the same time, I heard...I heard lots of songs, lots of instrumental pieces: new age, classical, folk music, and not just italian...I have always loved celtic sounds, but also the balkanic ones...I heard music from Australia and New Zealand, too. So, I started to write my own pieces...pieces written just for me and for people who really wanted to listen to "me".

The result of this research is the release of my first album - self produced under my own label "Bassapadanamylove". It is called "Blue star", it is composed by 10 pieces completely written by me (music, lyrics, arrangements).

So far, I have had the great joy to see my album sold in countries like USA, UK, Finland, Japan, Norway, Holland, Korea, Greece, Belgium, Denmark, Russia, Italy, Australia, Switzerland, Sweden, New Zealand. It's so beautiful to be heard...it's so beautiful sharing my feelings - in music - with people!

During the exciting experience of "Blue star", I have had the big pleasure to meet - personally and virtually - many people. People who listened to me deeply, who took my music as seriously as I take it. People who believe in me and in my musical project, people who believe, like me, that music can really improve ourselves and our approach to life. People who made me think: "Yes, that's my way. Now I understand that making music is definitely what I want to do. And I want to do it following my istinct, my passion. And then, finally, I want to share it with everybody".

Meanwhile, I am growing up and I am getting older - if being 26 years old means being old! I am growing up with all the ingredients that make life spicy and flavoured: love, friendship, work, projects, moments of sandness and happiness...many dreams and much hope.

So, during this moment of my life, in order to portray every single thought and every single feeling...I am planning to release my second album. Every new song will be another new story to tell."
