ʻO Giovanni Marradi he mea hoʻokani pila kaulana ʻo Italia a me ʻAmelika, hoʻonohonoho, kumu a haku mele. 'Ōlelo kona pili pono'ī. He nui kāna huakaʻi. Eia kekahi, mālama ʻia nā ʻaha mele a Marradi ʻaʻole wale ma kona ʻāina hānau, akā ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa. ʻO kēia kekahi o nā haku mele koʻikoʻi o ko kākou wā.
Ua kūpono nā haku mele o ka maestro no ka wehewehe ʻana i ka "sensual" a me "magical". ʻO ka poʻe makemake i nā retroclassics e makemake maoli i nā haku mele a Giovanni.
ʻO ke kamaliʻi a me ka ʻōpio ʻo Giovanni Marradi
ʻO ka lā hānau o Maestro ʻo ʻApelila 17, 1952. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo ia ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Alessandria (Italia). Laki ʻo ia i ka hānai ʻia ʻana i loko o kahi ʻohana naʻauao a noʻonoʻo.
ʻO ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka makuakāne ʻo Giovanni ka mea haku mele kaulana ʻo Alfredo Marradi. ʻAʻole i loaʻa i ke keikikāne kahi manawa e hoʻopili ai i kona ola me kahi ʻoihana ʻē aʻe. I ka makahiki ʻelima, ua noho ʻo ia ma ka piano, a mai ia manawa ʻaʻole i pau ka makemake a me ke aloha i kēia mea kani, akā ua piʻi pū kekahi.
I ka makahiki ʻewalu, ua neʻe ʻo Giovanni me kona ʻohana i Beirut (Lebanona). Ua loaʻa i ke poʻo o ka ʻohana kahi hāʻawi hana uku, ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hōʻole. Ma kahi hou, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Marradi Jr. e aʻo i ka haku mele ma lalo o Mikhail Keskinov ma ka Conservatory Lūkini ma Beirut.
"ʻAʻole i lawe ʻo Mikhail i nā keiki ma lalo o kanakolu makahiki no ke aʻo ʻana. A i kāna ʻoihana holoʻokoʻa, ua aʻo ʻo ia i ka hapa liʻiliʻi o nā haumāna, ʻoiai ʻaʻole lawa ka manawa o kēlā me kēia kanaka. Ua lawe wale ʻo Keskinov iaʻu no ka maikaʻi o koʻu makuakāne. Ma hope ua lilo wau i haumana hoʻokahi nāna. Hāʻawi ʻo ia iaʻu i 8 mau hola i ka lā. Ua hoʻomau kēia a hiki i ka make ʻana o Mikaʻela.
I loko o kēia manawa, hele nui ʻo Giovanni. Loaʻa iā ia kona ola ma ka hoʻokani piano. Ua nele loa ka haku ʻōpio i ke kālā. ʻAʻole ʻo ia e hoʻopau i ka hopena a me ka moeʻuhane e neʻe i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
Ua hana ʻo ia me ka manuahi, akā i kēlā mau manawa, ʻaʻole i hoʻokuʻu ʻo Marradi iā ia iho i ke kuleana no ke kani kiʻekiʻe, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hack. Hiki ke wehewehe ʻia kēia manawa he ʻimi no ia iho a me ka hopena o ke kanaka ma ke kahua mele. ʻO ka mea wale nō āna i kānalua ai, ʻo ia ke kuleana e lawe i kāna mele i ka lehulehu.
ʻO ke ala hana a me ke mele a Giovanni Marradi
Ma ka waena o 80s o ke kenekulia hope, "ua haki ka hau." Ua neʻe kekahi mea hoʻokani pila a haku mele i Las Vegas. Ma ʻaneʻi i loaʻa ai ka kaulana a me ka ʻike ʻia. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, ua loaʻa iā ia ke kamaʻāina ʻAmelika. No Giovanni, hoʻokahi wale nō mea kēia - ʻike ʻia kāna talena ma ka pae kiʻekiʻe. I ka hana ʻana ma ke kahua ma ka Hale Aliʻi hanohano ma ka Hale Aliʻi o Kaisara, ua hana ka mea hoʻokani i nā hoaaloha he nui i ka ʻoihana mele a me nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni.
I ka pau ʻana o nā 90s, ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻo ia me Atlantic Record, kahi i hoʻomaka ai ʻo Destiny compilation ma mua o ka makahiki aʻe. ʻOi aku ka discography o Giovanni Marradi ma mua o 100 LPs i kūʻai aku i miliona mau kope a puni ka honua.
ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona ʻokoʻa o kāna hana a me kāna ʻano ka hana ʻana i nā uhi kumu o nā mele kaulana. ʻO nā hana a Giovanni e hana ai he kani ʻokoʻa loa, "hou". He nui ka poʻe, ma hope o ka hoʻolohe mua ʻana, ʻaʻole maopopo i ke mele aʻu i hoʻokumu ai i ke kumu o ka uhi a Marrandi.
Ua mahalo ʻo Frank Sinatra i kāna hana. Ua hoʻokō ʻo Giovanni i kahi pilina pili me Frank. Ua lilo ʻo Sinatra no Marrandi ʻaʻole he hoaaloha wale nō, akā he kākāʻōlelo pū kekahi.
"ʻO Sinatra kekahi o kēlā poʻe he kumu hoʻohālike nui iaʻu. Ua kapa ʻo ia iaʻu "kuʻu keiki Italia". Ua kono pinepine ʻo ia iaʻu i ka ʻaina ahiahi no ka mea ua manaʻo ʻo ia he wīwī loa wau. I kona nīnau ʻana iaʻu i kaʻu makemake e hoʻokō i ke ola, manaʻo wau. Akā, pane mai ʻo ia, penei: ʻo kaʻu mau moeʻuhane a me nā manaʻolana e pili ana i ka poʻe e hoʻolohe ana i kaʻu mau mele.
Ua komo ʻo ia i ka hana ʻana i ka moʻolelo kīwī mele "World of Music", i loaʻa iā 28 mau ʻāpana. Ua koho ʻia ka moʻo a me ka mea haku mele no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā makana mai ka National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, nā Telly Awards, nā EMAs a me New York festivals.
Nā kikoʻī o ke ola pilikino o ka haku mele
ʻO ka wahine mua a Giovanni he kaikamahine i kapa ʻia ʻo Beatrice Ring. ʻO ka wahine a Marradi he mea hana keaka a me ke alakaʻi. Ua kaulana ʻo ia no kāna mau hana ma Zombie, Interzone a me The Sicilian Connection. Ua hoʻopaʻa lāua i ka pahu ma Iulai 4, 1993, akā ua waiho ʻia no ka hemo ʻana i ʻekolu makahiki ma hope. Ma mua o ka hemo ʻana, ua hoʻopōmaikaʻi ʻia lāua i hoʻokahi keiki.
Ma hope koke iho, ua mare hou ka maestro. ʻO kāna mea i koho ʻia he kaikamahine i kapa ʻia ʻo Jaelle Christine. Ke hānai nei kekahi kāne male i kahi keikikāne maʻamau. E like me kāna kāne, ua ʻike ʻo Christine iā ia iho i kahi ʻoihana hana. Loaʻa iā ia ka leo kūpono.

Giovanni Marradi: ʻO ko mākou mau lā
Loaʻa i ka mea pena kahi pūnaewele mana e hoʻopuka ana i nā nūhou hou a pili. Hoʻohana ʻo Giovanni i ka hapa nui o kona manawa i ka mākaʻikaʻi. No ka laʻana, i ka makahiki 2019 ua hōʻole ʻo ia i kahi huakaʻi nui, akā ma 2020-2021, ua koi ʻia ka haku mele e hoʻolōʻihi i kāna mau hana ma muli o ka maʻi maʻi coronavirus.
