Cuando TARJA TURUNEN canta, tiene una postura fuerte, casi de la realeza. Pero esta mujer, ahora de 34 años, tiene orígenes humildes y una base familiar sólida que dice ha sido esencial en su formación clásica. TARJA es la hija de una empleada de la ciudad de Kitee y un carpintero y tiene dos hermanos.
Esta semana, Correo de Uberlandia fue uno de los invitados a entrevistar a la diva por teléfono para hablar sobre su lanzamiento de su nuevo trabajo: "TARJA TURUNEN & HARUS IN CONCERT LIVE AT SIBELIUS HALL", que saldrá este mes en Brasil Hellion Records, CD Digipack nacional, DVD y Blu-Ray + CD importados. Con la participación de Kalevi Kivimiemi (teclados), Marzi Nyman (guitarra), y Markku Krohn (percusión).
Nacida en Kitee, Finlandia, la tierra dónde el Sol no aparece mucho, ella pregunta cómo está Brasil, un país que disfruta y echa de menos.
"Estoy devuelta en Finlandia, aquí está frío y oscuro", dijo la vocalista al enterarse que, aquí, el sol reina entre algunas lluvias de primavera. TARJA TURUNEN se sorprendió cuando le comenté que ya había visitado Finlandia, dónde tengo una amiga finlandesa, que está casada con un argentino.
"¡No puedo creerlo! ¿De verdad? Bueno, creo que como yo, nunca debió haber pensado casarse con un argentino, pero la vida es lo que es". TARJA está casada con el empresario argentino Marcelo Cabuli en 2003, y desde entonces, pasa temporadas en Buenos Aires.
Cuando TARJA fue despedida de NIGHTWISH, una banda en que ayudó a proyectar y lanzar álbumes en 1997 y 2004. En 2005, Cabuli fue citado como una de las razones. Pero el pasado es pasado, y si quieres saber acerca de NIGHTWISH no lea la entrevista, después de todo, la cuestión aquí es el presente y futuro de TARJA TURUNEN, que va a pasar navidad con su familia en Finlandia.
Correio de Uberlandia: Después de siete años como solista, regresas como una banda, HARUS: ¿Cómo es esto para tí? ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre TARJA TURUNEN y TARJA TURUNEN & HARUS?
«He trabajado desde 2006, con HARUS. Ponemos a prueba los conceptos y trabajamos bien juntos, todos estamos en proyectos paralelos siempre. Esta vez, pusimos un nombre como una forma de reconocimiento por la riqueza que aportan a nuestra música. En este trabajo tenemos una combinación que nos hace sentir orgullosos. Me gusta la música clásica, rock y metal. Necesitábamos equilibrar nuestra música y es lo que hicimos. Ahora, mi principal objetivo es llevar mi espectáculo a Brasil y a América del Sur.»
¿Por qué hacer la primera versión grabada en vivo y también en DVD?
«A menudo hablaba con productores locales de los espectáculos de TARJA TURUNEN & HARUS, y no tenían la más mínima idea de lo que se trataba. La mitad se perdieron. Grabar el DVD, incluso antes del lanzamiento del CD era la manera de tratar de encontrar lo más pronto posible en este tour.»
¿Y no está previsto regresar a Brasil? Recientemente estuviste aquí, e incluso en condiciones adversas aún con problemas técnicos, tuviste un show que emocionó a los que te vieron con Angra en Rock In Rio.
«Espero que en marzo de 2012 esta gira ocurra. No puedo esperar para estar devuelta en Brasil, que son adorables, me tratan con tanto cariño. Sobre el espectáculo con Angra estaba contenta con la respuesta que se hizo aún con tantos problemas. Ellos cantaron con nosotros, nos respetan, nuestros fans son gente maravillosa.»
Al leer tu biografía, parece que tus padres han contribuido mucho en tu carrera musical. Te alentaron aún cuando la escuela estaba a unos 20 kilómetros de casa y te apoyaron cuando decidiste estudiar en Alemania. Cuéntanos un poco de ese momento...
«Yo era una niña muy felíz y bendecida. Siempre aprecié lo que mis padres hicieron por mí. Fui a clases de piano, canto, teoría, flauta que estaba casi loca con tanto y todavía tiene algún estudio. Un día voy a ser madre y yo también les daré a mis hijos la oportunidad de elegir lo que me dieron mis padres. La música siempre me ha llevado a dónde debo ir. Mis padres no estaban allí para decir algo así cómo: "¿Estás segura de que es lo que quieres?", "¿No te parece mejor?. Cambié de escuela cuando era una adolescente, me trasladé a la ciudad, alquilé un dormitorio y era difícil, a veces sólo comía una manzana al día. Tuve la oportunidad y la agarré. En Finlandia la educación es gratuita incluso de música clásica y se que en América del Sur no es así, así que siempre estoy agradecida por las oportunidades que tuve cuando crecía.»
Ya que lo mencionás, ¿tus planes para tu primer hijo?
«Ah, si claro que quiero ser madre. Tengo conversaciones con mi esposo al respecto. Estamos muy contentos de que estamos juntos desde hace 11 años y vivimos muy bien, casi pegados las 24 horas, pero a veces tengo cosas por hacer. Vamos a tener este bebé, no sé cuando, pero cuando sea, será muy querido y será un gran desafío también.»
Esta semana en tu página web hablabas de Paulo Coelho, de quién dices, eres fan. Incluso hiciste música inspirada en un libro suyo, "Outlanders": ¿Cómo describes al escritor brasileño?
«Hace muchos años tuve la oportunidad de conocer la literatura de Paulo Coelho. Lo que escribe, su forma de escribir, tiene mucho que ver con mi estilo de vida. El "Alquimista" es mi libro favorito. De alguna manera se enteró y me preguntó si quería participar en un homenaje a él como "El Día de Paulo Coelho". Envié a él en forma de agradecimiento mis discos. Me sorprendió cuando me envió un e-mail alabándome. A veces escribe cosas que quiero decir en voz alta y "El Alquimista" inspiró "Outlanders" no era oficial todavía.»
Además de tener formación clásica y ser una cantante respetada, también eres vista como una diosa del metal por tu belleza y elegancia: ¿Qué haces para mantenerte en forma entre tanto trabajo? Y por casualidad ¿has recibido propuestas de revistas como "PlayBoy" para ser la portada de la revista?
«Oh si, ya recibí algunas propuestas y ¿sabes que a veces tengo replanteamientos de ellos?. Pero ya sabes, para ser honesta sería genial estar en la portada de "PlayBoy". Pero yo soy muy perfeccionista, y después de 30 años, hay cosas que ya no son lo mismo, las mujeres nos entendemos. Necesito mucho tiempo para mí, para hacer cualquier cosa determinada y creo que ahora no va a suceder. Me gusta mantenerme en forma. Fuera del show, que requiere una gran cantidad de energía en dos horas, sigo una rutina de ejercicios, correr, nadar, hacer gimnasia. Me siento halagada cuando la gente me mira y les gusta lo que ven. Me siento bendecida y agradecida.»
Cuando comenzaste a sobresalir en el mundo del metal melódico tenías 20 años por supuesto, en un mundo en el que los hombres son mayoría. ¿Sentiste algún tipo de desprecio como mujer? ¿Creés que las cosas eran más difíciles en ese entonces?
«Nunca tuve que luchar para marcar mi territorio. La gente conoce mi voz, sé que me toman muy en serio mi carrera y lo que representa mi trabajo para mí. Los veo más como compañero de metal por eso, la gente es muy técnica y valoran qué es lo que estás haciendo.Conocen mi personalidad. Estoy por encima de todo su respeto. Y lo que está detrás de nosotros y lo que soy hoy en día es el resultado de mis decisiones.»
