TARJA TURUNEN Checks In From Latin American Tour
April 3, 2011, 13 years ago
Ex-NIGHTWISH vocalist TARJA TURUNEN has posted the following road report on her official website:
"My dear friends, it was impossible to post during my Latin American tour.Whether we were travelling or I had some other activities. I searched for a time to rest whenever I could.
Instead, I decided this time to make a tour report so that you know what was going on. I hope you like it!
After some days of rehearsals in the DF, the shows in Mexico City and Guadalajara were wonderful and we had so great time with my Mexican fans. It was truly a pleasure once again to perform to you guys. I had missed you! The organization, the weather and the food…all just marvelous. How nice it was to see happy, smiling faces again in front of me, singing with me. I will cherish these moments for a long time, because I had been waiting for this tour particularly very long. I was pretty nervous to sing 'Signos' for the first time in DF, but you people, you loved it! Thank you so much."

As previously reported, Tarja has been invited to be a special guest at ANGRA's appearance at the Rock In Rio festival which will take place on September 25th at Olympic Park, Barra da Tijuca in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
A message from Turunen reads as follows:
“Rock in Rio is one of the biggest festivals and happenings in the world still today. It has been amazing to follow the stunning list of great performers in this event in the past. I am very delighted and happily surprised about the invitation I got from Angra to take part of their performance in Rio this year. It´s an honour for me and a lot of fun. I am sure that our fans will be excited about this collaboration, as we both parties are as well. I have known the guys from Angra for few years already and worked closely with Kiko Loureiro, so it’s nice to make this thing happen. As this is not my own show, we are starting now to check with the guys what songs will be both interesting and challenging for us to perform together. But for sure you can expect some surprises! We are going to have fun and rock together with the people in Rio! Can’t wait!”
"Heavy" acts on the Rock In Riol bill include METALLICA, MOTÖRHEAD, SEPULTURA, SLIPKNOT and COHEED AND CAMBRIA.
