Cantar está no meu sangue / Brazil Edition
‘Cantar está no meu sangue. Desde pequena, gosto de me apresentar… mas como não pude estar no palco em 2020, passei muito tempo olhando álbuns de fotos, vendo todas aquelas cenas felizes da minha infância, de crescer e fazer música, poder conhecer meus fãs e viajar pelo mundo gravando e me apresentando, me divertindo. Essas memórias preenchem este livro’.
Frustrada por não poder se apresentar ao vivo e ver seus fãs no último ano, Tarja viu milhares e milhares de fotos de sua vida. Ela observou as artes, sessões de fotografias, turnês, imagens de sua vida… e viu como cresceu. Isso trouxe muitas memórias maravilhosas e elas estão todas em Cantar Está no meu Sangue.
A edição nacional, que será lançada no Brasil pela editora Liberation em dezembro de 2021, terá capa dura, acabamento e impressão especiais, oferecendo aos fãs uma visão da intimidade e dos bastidores da Tarja fazendo música no estúdio, no palco e em casa. O livro também incluirá fotografias jamais divulgadas, assim como contribuições de alguns dos amigos mais próximos e companheiros da Tarja.

Laulun virta veressäni / Finnish Edition
Audio-Book cover
Vahvaäänisen laulajan elämän värit
Poikkeuksellisen laulajanuran tehnyt, upeaääninen Tarja Turunen kertoo vihdoin oman tarinansa. Runsaasti kuvitettu Laulun virta veressäni valottaa rakastetun sopraanon elämää ja uraa.
Nightwish-yhtyeestä kuuluisuuteen noussut Turunen kertoo matkastaan Kiteen Puhoksen kylästä kohti maailman suurimpia estradeja. Hän kertoo lapsuudestaan, lauluopinnoistaan, taiteilijuudestaan ja ainutlaatuisesta yhteydestä faneihinsa. Turunen kuvailee myös tyypillistä kiertuepäiväänsä sekä esiintymistä monituhatpäisen yleisön edessä niin Latinalaisessa Amerikassa kuin ympäri Eurooppaa, Suomea unohtamatta. Harvinaista, osin ennennäkemätöntä kuva-aineistoa sisältävässä teoksessa lukija pääsee kohtaamaan myös Turusen elämän yksityistä puolta.
Ainutlaatuisessa kirjassa ääneen pääsevät myös monet yhteistyökumppanit vuosien varsilta. Laulun virta veressäni on todellinen fanin toivekirja, joka tuo iloa kaikille musiikinystäville. Se kertoo tarinan naisesta, joka ei ole koskaan pelännyt kohdata uutta. Runsas valokuvakuvitus elävöittää upeaa teosta, joka raottaa myös arkea kulissien takana: studiossa, lavalla ja kotona.
