A DAY WITH NADYA AND HER 101 CANDLES ORCHESTRA ON LIBRA RADIO: Wednesday, 20. 07.2005
ONE HOUR SHOW WITH NADYA AND HER 101 CANDLES ORCHESTRA
Thursday, 21. 07. 2005 at 00.01 (Central European Time)
Nadya Golski was born in in Mount Hagen (Papua New Guinea) and raised there by her Australian parents with Polish descent. She speaks fluent Tok Pisin and has an unmistakenable Higlands accent.
Nadya started her musical career working with Papua New Guinean reggae bands which was later continued with her throaty gypsy style singing. Nadya is a singer with diverse taste and experience. Her debut album, "Haiwe Draiva", and second album "Moka the Gift", were in languages from the South Pacific Islands, mostly from Papua New Guinea where she spent a significant part of her childhood. Once she also worked with a famous theatre called Gardzienice Theatre Company based in a small village in eastern Poland. From there they travelled by horse and cart to gypsy settlements and remote villages to collect material for their shows which took place in an old candlelit church. People came from all over Europe to make pilgrimages to these performances, which were a feast of music, colour and light.
Nadya launched her first Eastern European inspired double album, 'Effugio', (partly recorded by the ABC studios), at the Sydney Opera House to packed audiences in 2002. The album has since been reissued as a single album simply entitled,"Nadya and Giga 101 Candles Orkestra".
Nadya's 101 Candles Orchestra was selected for Live on Stage by the ABC following their performance at Bellingen festival in October 2003. During 2004 she has performed at the Sydney Festival, Woodford Folk Festival 2003, the Sydney Opera House The Studio, The Basement, and the Sydney Festival 2004.
Nadya has recently finished recording two new albums - 'Crazy Moon' with Australia Council assistance, and 'Heaven and Other Places', a jazz and blues album on the" Wylde Street label".
A tour of the UK followed suit as the headline act of the Music Festivals of Northern England followed by several concerts at the Famous Spiegeltent at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival . Followed by shows at jazz clubs in Paris. This tour was proudly supported by the Australia Council for the Arts
Young Nadya with Warupi warriors from Papua New Guinea
Nadya's abbilities for singing (and languages) are truly flamboyant. It seems like any song she picks up and releases it trough her throat - it sounds perfect. For instance: on the Crazy moon album she sings in Gypsy, Polish, French and Spanish which is not a very common combination for an Australian. When i heard "Dis-Moi", a song in French, i got really attracted with everything what is going on in this piece. A rare combination of a French romance and very smart set Balkan style music background. You'll notice all the talent and virtuosity of the musicians from the 101 Candles Orchestra.
One more thing. A few days ago i met an Australian girl here in Maribor, Slovenia and asked her if she ever heard of Nadya. "And 101 Candles Orchestra?" she replied immediately.
Thank you Nadya for sending music to Libra Radio!
