A new beginning
17 May 2008
These powerful days are very precious for the future album. Many, many songs are on the way and I’m sincerely telling you that the Universe is rising and expanding from within them.
Working on this album, I’ve mingled love, anger, humility, desire, acrimony, and thoughts of you.
I have a new suggestion for you: a kind of video section, images of Paula, which may explain more about me. The images might also narrow your imagination, but they are the reality behind which I’m hiding my universe.
In a short time we will be able to see each other live from the studio, occasionally.
Onthe other hand, the trip to Baia Mare was a breath of fresh air. I was amused because, during the show on National TV, the word “tour” came out and Radu made a little fun of me over this.
Obviously you can’t think of a trip to Baia Mare and then Timisoara as a tour, although I felt like I was in vacation.
I wanted to mention “Ursuletul de Aur” (The Golden Bear), the famous festival for children, organized by Mrs. Bentu, one of the people who have helped me become what I am. Now, in Baia Mare, she was my colleague in the jury, along with my singing teacher from high-school. I was happy to discover that the future of Romanian music is in good hands. It wasn’t easy listening to 150 children in a day and a half, and also taking notes of them. I remembered with great joy my first performance on that stage. Congratulations to Baia Mare Student’s Palace for keeping The Golden Bear “alive”.
From Baia Mare I arrived in Timisoara, very anxious.
I knew the show would be outdoor, in a big square, with many people and different expectations from each one of them. On the stage, I felt as if I were in a performance hall. Thank you, Timisoara, for everything you gave me, again on the night of May 11.
Here is a small footage taken during my duet with Albano.
