TARJA TURUNEN To Present New Paulo Coelho-Inspired Song

November 23, 2011

Former NIGHTWISH singer Tarja Turunen will present a new, Paulo Coelho-inspired song, "Outlanders", at Paulo Coelho Day on November 26 at Suomalainen Kirjakauppa, Kamppi centre, a complex in the Kamppi district in the centre of Helsinki, Finland. The free event is organized by Bazar Kustannus together with Suomalainen kirjakauppa.

"Outlanders" is a song about the secrecy of each exact moment, the importance of enjoying life to its fullest every day. The extracts are taken from Coelho's books: "Alkemisti", "Piedrajoen Rannalla Istuin Ja Itkin" and "Elm".

OUTLANDERS is also the name of a new project Turunen formed with the German producer Torsten Stenzel. The project brought together people who have found their homes outside their native countries (Tarja now lives in Argentina, Torsten in the Caribbean, and guest guitarist Walter Giardino was born in Argentina, but now lives in Spain; Paulo Coelho has also moved from his native country). Co-operation has created music, and the first song was named after the band, "Outlanders".

Brazilian author Paulo Coelho's best-known works include "The Pilgrimage", "The Alchemist" and "Eleven Minutes". Coelho's books are published in 73 languages to 168 countries and have already sold over 135 million copies. The author was appointed the UN's peace envoy in 2007.
