ʻO Nina Simone he mele mele, haku mele, hoʻonohonoho a me ka mea hoʻokani piano. Hoʻopili ʻo ia i nā mele jazz, akā hoʻohana ʻo ia i nā ʻano mea hana like ʻole. Hoʻohui akamai ʻo Nina i ka jazz, soul, pop music, gospel and blues i nā haku mele, hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā haku me kahi orkestra nui.
Hoʻomanaʻo ka poʻe iā Simone ma ke ʻano he mele mele me kahi ʻano ikaika. ʻO Impulsive, nani a kupaianaha, ua hauʻoli ʻo Nina i nā mea pā jazz me kona leo a hiki i 2003. ʻAʻole hoʻopilikia ka make o ka mea hoʻokani i kāna mau hits a i kēia lā ke kani mai nā wahi like ʻole a me nā lekiō.
ʻO ka wā kamaliʻi a me ka ʻōpio ʻo Eunice Kathleen Waymon
Ma ka mokuʻāina o North Carolina ma ke kūlanakauhale panalāʻau liʻiliʻi o Tryon, i ka lā 21 o Pepeluali, 1933, ua hānau ʻia ʻo Eunice Kathleen Waymon (ka inoa maoli o ka hōkū e hiki mai ana). Ua hānau ʻia ke kaikamahine i loko o ka ʻohana o ke kahuna maʻamau. Ua hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Eunice ua noho ʻo ia me kona mau mākua a me kona mau kaikuahine i kahi kūlana haʻahaʻa.
ʻO ka mea nani wale nō i loko o ka hale he piano kahiko. Mai ka makahiki 3, ua hōʻike ʻo Eunice liʻiliʻi i ka hoihoi i kahi mea kani a ua akamai ʻo ia i ka hoʻokani piano.
Ua hīmeni ke kaikamahine me kona mau kaikuahine ma ke kula pule. Ma hope mai ua lawe ʻo ia i nā haʻawina piano. Ua moemoeā ʻo Eunice e kūkulu i kahi ʻoihana ma ke ʻano he piano. Hoʻohana ʻo ia i nā lā a me nā pō i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa. I ka makahiki 10, ua hana ʻia ka hana ʻoihana mua a Nina ma ka hale waihona puke o ke kūlanakauhale. Ua hele mai he mau kakini makaikai mai ke kaona o Tryon e nana i ka paani a kekahi kaikamahine akamai.
Ua kōkua nā hoaaloha pili o ka ʻohana i ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kaikamahine i kahi hoʻonaʻauao mele. Ua lilo ʻo Eunice i haumāna no kekahi o nā kula mele kaulana loa, ʻo Juilliard School of Music. Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia i kāna mau haʻawina me ka hana. Pono ʻo ia e hana ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani pila, no ka mea ʻaʻole hiki i kona mau mākua ke hāʻawi iā ia i kahi ola maʻamau.
Ua ho'okō 'o ia i ka puka 'ana me ka hanohano mai ke kula mele 'o Juilliard. Hoʻomaka ʻo ia i kāna ʻoihana ma ke ʻano he pianist ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Atlantic City i ka makahiki 1953, ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e lawe i kahi pseudonym no ka hoʻohanohano ʻana i kāna mea hoʻokani aloha ʻo Simone Signoret.
Ua hāʻawi ʻo Nina Simon i ka hōʻiliʻili Duke Ellington i ka poʻe aloha mele i nā makahiki 1960. Loaʻa i ka album nā ballads mai nā mele mele Broadway. Ua hoʻonoho ka hōkū makemake iā ia iho ma ke ʻano he mele wale nō, akā ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻonohonoho, mea hana keaka, a me ka hula.
ʻO ke ala hana o Nina Simon
Ua hoʻohua nui ʻo Nina Simone mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kāna ʻoihana hana. He paʻakikī ke manaʻoʻiʻo, akā i ka wā o kāna hana hoʻomohala, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i 170 album, me ka studio a me nā hoʻopaʻa leo ola, kahi āna i hana ai ma mua o 320 mau mele mele.
ʻO ka haku mele mua, mahalo i loaʻa iā Nina ka kaulana, he aria mai ka opera e George Gershwin. E pili ana ia i ke mele I Loves You, Porgy!. Ua uhi ʻo Simon i ka haku mele, a ʻo kāna mele i hoʻokani ʻia e ia i kani ʻia i nā "ʻoluʻolu".
Ua hoʻopiha ʻia ka discography a ka mea mele me kāna album mua ʻo Little Girl Blue (1957). Aia i loko o ka hō'ili'ili nā mele jazz a me ka ho'opā'ana, kahi āna i ho'onani ai ma hope.
I ka makahiki 1960, hoʻomaka ka mea mele e hui pū me Colpix Records. A laila, puka maila nā mele i pili loa i ka ʻuhane iā Nina Simon. I ka waena o ka makahiki 1960, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kekahi o nā moʻolelo kaulana loa o ka discography a ka mea hoʻokani. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i ka album masterpiece I Put a Spellon You. Aia i loko o ka diski ka mele o ka inoa hoʻokahi, i lilo i kaʻao, a me ka paʻi ʻole ʻia ʻo Feeling Good.
Pono ka manaʻo kūikawā o ka mana o ka haku mele ʻuhane ʻAmelika-ʻAmelika ʻo Sinnerman. Ua hoʻokomo ʻo Nina i ke mele i hōʻike ʻia ma ka diski Pastel Blues. Ua hoʻomaopopo ka pelekikena mua o ʻAmelika aia ka haku mele i loko o ka papa inoa o nā mele punahele he 10.
Ke kani mau nei ka hana mua a me ka hana mua ma nā hōʻike TV a me nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni ("Thomas Crown Affair", "Miami PD: Vice Department", "Cellular", "Lucifer", "Sherlock", etc.). He mea ʻike ʻia ka lōʻihi o ke ala he 10 mau minuke. Ma hope o ka hōʻike ʻia ʻana o ka disc Wild is the Wind (1966), kahi i hoʻokomo ʻia i nā haku mele pop-soul, ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Nina i ka inoa ʻo "Priestesses of soul".
Makaainana Nina Simone
ʻO ka hana a Nina Simon e pili ana i nā kūlana kaiaulu a me nā kūlana civic. I loko o nā haku mele, ua hoʻopā pinepine ka mea mele i kekahi o nā kumuhana koʻikoʻi, e komo pū ana i ka nohona hou - ke kūlike o ka poʻe ʻeleʻele.
Aia nā mele o nā mele i nā mea pili i ka pilikanaka a me ka politika. No laila, ua lilo ka mele Mississippi Goddam i haku kālai'āina. Ua kākau ʻia ke mele ma hope o ka pepehi ʻia ʻana o ka mea hoʻoikaika ʻo Medgar Evers, a ma hope o ka pahū ʻana i kahi kula hoʻonaʻauao i pepehi i kekahi mau keiki ʻeleʻele. Kāhea ka kikokikona o ka haku mele e hele i ke ala o ke kaua kūʻē i ka racism.
Ua kamaʻāina pilikino ʻo Nina iā Martin Luther King. Ma hope o ko lākou hui ʻana, ua hāʻawi ʻia ka mea mele i kahi inoa inoa ʻē aʻe - "Martin Luther i loko o kahi pālule." ʻAʻole makaʻu ʻo Simon e hōʻike i kona manaʻo i ka lehulehu. Ma kāna mau haku mele, ua hoʻopā ʻo ia i nā kumuhana e hopohopo nei i nā miliona o ka poʻe.
Ke neʻe nei iā Nina Simone i Farani
Ma hope koke iho, ua hoʻolaha ʻo Nina i nā mea pā ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke noho hou ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, haʻalele ʻo ia i Barbados, kahi i neʻe ai i Farani, kahi āna i noho ai a hiki i ka hopena o kona ola. Mai ka makahiki 1970 a i ka makahiki 1978 Ua hoʻopiha hou ʻia ka discography a ka mea mele me ʻehiku mau album studio.
I ka makahiki 1993, ua hōʻike ʻo Simone i ka hōʻiliʻili hope loa o kāna discography, He Wahine Hoʻokahi. Ua hoʻolaha ʻo Nina ʻaʻohe ona manaʻo e hoʻopaʻa i nā album hou. ʻOiai ʻaʻole i haʻalele ka mea mele i ka hana ʻaha mele a hiki i ka hopena o nā makahiki 1990.
Ma muli o ka lilo ʻana i mau haku haku kaulana, ua kūpono nā haku mele a Nina Simone no ka poʻe hoʻolohe o kēia wā. ʻO ka manawa pinepine, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā mana uhi kumu no nā mele a ka mea mele.
ʻO ke ola pilikino o Nina Simone
I ka makahiki 1958, ua mare ʻo Nina Simone no ka manawa mua. He aloha aloha ke kaikamahine me ka bartender Don Ross, i hala 1 makahiki. ʻAʻole makemake ʻo Simon e noʻonoʻo i kāna kāne mua. Ua kamaʻilio ʻo ia e pili ana i kona makemake e poina i kēia pae o kona ola.
ʻO ka lua o ka hoa kāne o ka hōkū ʻo ia ka Harlem detective Andrew Stroud. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka male i ka makahiki 1961. Ua ʻōlelo pinepine ʻo Nina he hana koʻikoʻi ʻo Andrew ʻaʻole wale i kona ola pilikino, akā i ka lilo ʻana i mea pena.
He kanaka noonoo nui o Andrew. Ma hope o ka male ʻana, haʻalele ʻo ia i kāna ʻoihana ma ke ʻano he mākaʻi a lilo ʻo ia i luna o Simone. Ua hoomalu loa ia i ka hana a kana wahine.
I loko o kāna puke moʻolelo pilikino "I Curse You," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Nina ʻo kāna kāne lua he hoʻomāinoino. Ua koi ʻo ia iā ia e hoʻi piha i ke kahua. Ua pepehi ʻo Andrew i kahi wahine. Ua hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia ʻo ia.
ʻAʻole maopopo loa ʻo Nina Simone i ka pololei o kā Andrew koho ʻana. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole hōʻole ka wahine inā ʻaʻole ke kākoʻo o kāna wahine lua, ʻaʻole ʻo ia e hiki i ke kiʻekiʻe āna i lanakila ai.
Hanau he kaikamahine
I ka makahiki 1962, he kaikamahine ka laua o Liz. Ma ke ala, ua oʻo ka wahine, ua hoʻoholo ka wahine e hahai i nā wāwae o kona makuahine kaulana. Ua hoʻokani ʻo ia ma Broadway, akā naʻe, auwe, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hana hou i ka kaulana o kona makuahine.
ʻO ka haʻalele ʻana i Barbados i ka makahiki 1970 ʻaʻole pili wale me ka makemake ʻole e noho i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, akā pū kekahi me nā kaʻina hemo ma waena o Simon a me Stroud. No kekahi manawa, ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Nina e hana i kāna ʻoihana ponoʻī. Akā, ua ʻike koke wau ʻaʻole kēia ʻo kāna ʻaoʻao maikaʻi loa. ʻAʻole hiki iā ia ke hoʻokō i ka hoʻokele a me ke kālā. Ua lilo ʻo Andrew i kāne hope loa o ka mea mele.
Hiki i nā poʻe makemake e hoʻomaopopo pono i ka biography o ka jazz diva ke nānā i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni What's Up, Miss Simone? (2015). I loko o ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni, ua hōʻike pololei ke alakaʻi i ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe o ka Nina Simone kaulana, i hūnā mau ʻia mai ka poʻe pā a me ke kaiāulu.
Aia i loko o ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni nā nīnauele me nā ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha pili o Simone. Ma hope o ka nānā ʻana i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni, aia nō ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana ʻaʻole ʻo Nina i ʻike ʻole e like me ka wahine i hoʻāʻo e hōʻike.
ʻO nā ʻike hoihoi e pili ana iā Nina Simon
- ʻO ka hanana ʻoi loa a maikaʻi ʻole o kona wā kamaliʻi ʻo ia ka manawa i hīmeni ai ʻo ia ma ka hale pule. Ua hele pū ʻia ka hana a Nina e nā mākua i kākoʻo i nā hana a kāna kaikamahine. Ua loaʻa iā lākou ka wahi mua ma ke keʻena. Ma hope mai, hoʻokokoke nā mea hoʻonohonoho iā Māmā a me Pāpā a noi iā lāua e hoʻokaʻawale i wahi no ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ʻili keʻokeʻo.
- Aia kekahi kiʻi o Nina Simone ma ka Grammy Hall of Fame, kahi e haʻaheo ai.
- Ua hoʻopaʻa ka mea mele ʻo Kelly Evans i ka disc "Nina" i ka makahiki 2010. Aia i loko o ka hōʻiliʻili nā mele mele kaulana loa o ka "Priestess of soul".
- Ua pilikia ʻo Simona i ke kānāwai. I kekahi manawa ua kī ʻo ia i kahi pū pana i kahi ʻōpio e pāʻani nui ana ma kahi kokoke i ka hale o ka mea mele. ʻO ka lua o ka manawa i loaʻa ai ʻo ia i kahi pōʻino a holo i kahi hanana, a ua loaʻa iā ia ka uku o $8.
- "ʻO Jazz kahi hua'ōlelo keʻokeʻo no ka poʻeʻeleʻele"ʻo ia ka'ōlelo kaulana loa o ka "kahuna o kaʻuhane".
Make o Nina Simone
I loko o nā makahiki, ua emi ke olakino o ka mea mele. I ka makahiki 1994, ua loaʻa ʻo Simone i kahi hōʻeha hopohopo. Ua kaumaha loa ʻo Nina i kona kūlana a ua kāpae ʻo ia i kāna mau hana. ʻAʻole hiki i ka mea mele ke hana ikaika ma ke kahua.
Ma 2001, hana ʻo Simone ma Carnegie Hall. ʻAʻole hiki iā ia ke hele i ke kahua me ke kōkua ʻole o waho. No nā makahiki hope loa o kona ola, ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia ʻo Nina ma ke kahua. Ua make ʻo ia ma ʻApelila 21, 2003 ma Farani, kokoke i Marseille.
