    Partie 2



    Welcome to Argentina!
    Tarja: Thank you
    Once again!
    Tarja: Yes, once again. [laughs] I live here, some on!
    Are you happy?
    Tarja: Yes, I am very happy. Really.
    Today we will talk for the people who don't know you as a solist. Does it bother you to be introduced as "ex-Nightwish"?
    Tarja: No, it's ok. It's a part of my career, a very important one, 9 years. I worked with Nightwish, a heavy metal band for 9 years, and that's why it's very important. It still is.
    It still is important?
    Tarja: Yes. I still sing some Nightwish songs in my concerts.
    Does the "Extras" part of your new CD contain a lot of Nightwish songs?
    Tarja: No, nothing from Nightwish. We recorded two new songs for this edition and there are also some live songs, it has a duet with Doro Pesch, a German heavy metal singer, and many nice things: a poster, new pictures..
    We are going to talk about this too. What do you like about Argentina, what attracts you here?
    Tarja: Oh, there are lots of things. I like the people a lot, the food [laughs]. I know Barilloche, Puerto Madryn, and Iguazu. There are lots of nice places.
    What does your "Winter Storm" mean?
    Tarja: The storm is my fans.
    Really?
    Tarja: Yes. They support me, they care about me, they love me, and at times it is a bit.. I don't know.. strange, difficult.. They are like a storm.
    Are there many in Argentina?
    Tarja: Yes, they are many.
    I'm happy for you. What do you like more: classical or heavy metal?
    Tarja: Both.
    Both?
    Tarja: I am very happy to have the possibility to do both. It's very important and for my career too.
    Which one is more dominant on this CD?
    Tarja: Both.
    Both?
    Tarja: Yes.. Not.. Not that much classical music, even though I sing classical music in like the other career of mine.
    On this CD there are many pictures of different characters.
    Tarja: Eh.. They are stories. Nice fantasies, and with reality also. Yes, it's like a movie.
    A movie?
    Tarja: Yes, I love movies. They are a big influence on me.
    What movie inspired you for this album?
    Tarja: Uh.. The Ring. Yes. And what else? Many.. Lord Of The Rings..
    On the other CD there is a cover of Alice Cooper? Why? Are you a fan of Alice Cooper?
    Tarja: No, not that much. I am not a fan of Alice Cooper, but I like him, I like his voice and his music, his career, it's very interesting, but yes, I liked it and I wanted to do something special.
    Didn't the record label say anything against it?
    Tarja: No, the truth is that it was very difficult for the band but we did it and we are very happy about it.
    Who accompanied you in this new band? What musicians?
    Tarja: The drummer is Mike Terrana, he is American and Doug Wimbish from Living Color is the bassist, Alex Scholpp is the guitarist, and Maria the keyboard player, she is Finnish and a cello player, Max Lilja.
    You seem happy about your Spanish.
    Tarja: Actually I'm not. [laughs] I'm not happy about it.
    I saw in an interview that you said something about you singing in 40 years.
    Tarja: WHAAT? No, no..I don't know, it's very hard to say..
    Will you still sing the same genre?
    Tarja: Yes, of course I will keep singing heavy metal. This CD also contains heavy metal, it's very important for me.
    Do you know anything about a new video?
    Tarja: No, so far we have no plans about a new one, but there will be a new one with the new CD that we are composing at the moment.
    When?
    Tarja: The next year.
    Tarja will have concerts here in Buenos Aires on the 24th, 26th and 27th at the Teatro des Flores and La Trastienda. Do you have any special guests?
    Tarja: No. Maybe there will be some surprises.
    Ok, thanks you so much for being here, we will surely visit you at La Trastienda, and you are going to play something you will play at this concert, right?
    Tarja: Yes. I will play and sing I Walk Alone and The Reign.

     

     

     

    Tarja Turunen is on the works for her sophmore album which will follow her debut album My Winter Storm that was released 2007. Turunen has named her new album "What Lies Beneath" but it's just a working title.

    "We are doing the album to the point that I am completely satisfied to the outcome. It doesn't matter how long it takes. As long as I can say it's perfect, nothing else matters. No rush and no pressure.", Tarja said.
