Luo Yunxuan: the first South Korean actress Jazz

first saw Luo Yunxuan (Nah Youn Sun) the name, he thought it was just cover that the mainstream traditional jazz playing familiar sound fills a woman (of course, which also has resistance to the Korean music).After chance, finally heard the end of 2010 she released Same Girl, ears lifted - this is not the same as I had imagined it!

Luo Yunxuan Korean jazz singer was born in Seoul in 1969 into a musical family, the young classical music steeped deeply, 23:00 local orchestra will debut in Korea performance.As suited to classical music in the various shackles, she went to Paris in 1995, learning the French language and literature.Until 27 years old, she came into contact with jazz, and try to vocals.During the next five years, she recorded four albums, frequently appeared in all of Europe and Korea Jazz Festival.In the 21st century, Luo Yunxuan ushered in the peak of his career, first in 2003 by the Korean title of the annual jazz musicians in 2005, France Jazz live re Grand Jury prize.In 2009, with a solo album, Voyage, she not only won Best Jazz Korea and crossover music album award, its second home in France is well received, until two years later, still has remained in France and Asia Amazon's jazz album chart in class.

good biographies on the first this, back to her seventh album, Same Girl, or the girls.As a famous German jazz label and the second co-ACT, Same Girl in the production can be described as exquisite, full of the Swedish team, including the recording is also done in Sweden, so that album has always been permeated with the Scandinavian minimalist ethereal jazz landmark.

fact, when I back back Luo Yunxuan of music, we will find is a clear distinction Same Girl for transformation.If I first heard her work before, perhaps you will not have such a keen interest in her.Needless to say, Luo Yunxuan simple musical instruments has been to highlight the human voice with the expressive singer.Sony 2003, as she's released in Down By Love, that first memorable old friend, the human voice and the free tempo guitar against the background of the cross will be able to get a glimpse of her singing a solid and varied skills, and the song super Strong ability to grasp.From 2004 So I Am, the Luo Yunxuan slowly digging their own sense of art, to find himself gradually bright spot, and add some more local color of South Korea, which produced the 2007 Memory Lane, derived on this basis a more mature companion volume in 2009 Voyage.Luo Yunxuan at this time getting the most widely recognized, but to higher and higher until she was a singer from an artist, really have to start with from the Same Girl.

Same Girl in a wide range of selections, with Luo Yunxuan's own music, classic jazz, American folk, traditional Korean folk songs, Brazilian Samba, French chanson - and even heavy metal.Ah, yes, she also chose a heavy metal band Metallica song Banba.Starting from the My Favorite Things (From the musical The King and I, according to the legend of nineteenth-century British women Annuoliou as the text went to the Royal Kingdom of Siam, the true story of teachers), Luo Yunxuan voice began to release her charm.First, the traditional opera into the new century, the interpretation of the Cool Jazz, followed by 60 years in the U.S.folk singer Jackson C.Frank's interpretation of My Name Is Carnival, the interpretation of the original song into another faint sadness sing temperament, The guitarist Ulf Wakenius very emotional and a great variety of performances are also impressive.Speaking of Ulf Wakenius, he was well-known, perhaps because once the Oscar Peterson Quartet members, but no one can ignore the energy from the Swedish guitarist, and he also joined the ACT Luo Yunxuan the most important contributing factors.If then the song Breakfast In Baghdad, the Ulf Wakenius creation and performance of the album featuring that people agonistic nylon guitar, flamenco? North African music? It can not stop them, especially Luo Yunxuan employment in the chorus vocal and instrument of dialogue, called the album the most exciting passages.As mentioned earlier Metallica, the metal powder (used to be), the Luo Yunxuan interpretation of Enter Sandman will never let you down, treble part of the hysterical and full of artistic temperament, the whole song challenges the listener in tight nerve, people outraged (although, it is uncomfortable for some sweet jazz for people who might be scared or perhaps a).

Same Girl album Safe is a movement, living in Paris, left bank of the eyes and ears of chanson for Luo Yunxuan rendering of La chanson d'Helene (Helen Song ) such masterpieces chanson it is also a duck to water treatment.At the same time, the song also invited the famous French actor, has 73-year-old Jean-Loup Dabadie involved in the study of white music.Meanwhile, Luo Yunxuan Korea is the national re-interpretation of the song works great artistic value of its parts, such as Kangwondo Arirang, a traditional Korean folk song that was first brought out the very world music/jazz fusion of beauty, undulating guitar strings but also to maintain the charm of the East.

the entire album at one go, no matter how the original song style, are highly personal Luo Yunxuan second creation incorporated.Album musicians have a good performance, in addition to Ulf Wakenius the guitar, Lars Danielsson bass and cello, Xavier Desandre-Navarre percussion, including the Luo Yunxuan my Kelin Ba piano, flute playing Cadzow are impressive - - they do not rob theater sound, but very existence.

Same Girl just listed late last year, it quickly conquered France, South Korea fans of the ear, not only top the sales charts in the Amazon champion up to a month of jazz and more the French magazine Jazzman's CHOC Jazz Awards, the French Institute of Jazz Jazz singing Mimi Perrin annual awards recognition.For Luo Yunxuan it, Same Girl, and her little distinction between the bourgeois atmosphere, and take their music and wine Xiangche distance, her powerful inner world and a strong personal style gives a unique identity of her performance style , and this style of reaching art.Perhaps, as Luo Yunxuan said himself: that authentic American jazz singers I think, if this is jazz, I really can not sing jazz was.I can not drink 100 cups of whiskey to my voice becomes hoarse, and my blood there is no kind of rhythm.My teacher told me that you should sing your own jazz.I can not say that I have created some kind of jazz, I can not say that this is Luo Yunxuan jazz, I just use my voice, but this attempt also endorsed someone else.

This is truly the first jazz Korean actress.
