I like Chopin will play in Šiauliai

Gazebo, Joy and Secret Service will play in Šiauliai. Three names that need no introduction to music fans, three names whose songs are repeated silently and loudly by millions of fans on every continent.

Italian disco musician Paulo Mazzolini, better known as Gazebo, was born on 18 February 1960 in the Lebanese capital Beirut to an Italian diplomat and an American singer.

He has lived in Jordan, Denmark, where he learned English at an American school and speaks a total of five languages, and in France. He grew up in Rome for ten years, where he learned to play the guitar.

He began his musical career performing jazz, rock 'n' roll and even punk rock songs. After meeting Paul Micioni, he released his debut and hugely successful single "Masterpiece" in 1982.

A year later, the musician under the pseudonym Gazebo released his debut album under the same name, featuring the worldwide superhit and most successful song of his career, "I like Chopin".  

The hit songs "Lunatic" and "Lovew in Your Eyes" are also successful. He also wrote the lyrics for the Italian singer Ryan Paris's song Dolce Vita, which reached the top of the charts in many countries.

A year later, he released another album, Telephone Mama, followed by two more studio albums, Univision and Portrait. In 1998, BMG released a collection of his best tracks, which of course included Gazebo's superhits "I like Chopin" and "Lunatic".

He went on to release a further six albums, making a total of 14. Tears for Galileo, Wet Wings, The Secret.

He is involved in various projects as an organiser, arranger, songwriter and has been invited several times to perform his haunting "I Like Chopin" on Italian television Rai 1.

Six years ago, Gazebo, who is coming to Šiauliai, received the Grand Prix at the Corallo Citta di Alghero for his long-lasting career, and was also given special recognition by thousands of people at the Sette Colli event in Rome.

 

Cop, Teacher and DJ

The members of the eastern band Joy met when they were still studying in school together. But then fate took them on their own paths - Andy Schweitzer became a policeman, Freddy Jaklitsch worked as a German language and history teacher at school and Manfred Temmel DJed in a German disco club.

But in 1984, the school friends crossed paths again and decided to embark on a professional music career.

The first single "Lost In Hong Kong" was not a sensation, but it did bring the band to the attention of the public. But already the second single, "Touch By Touch", was a huge success, making it to the European Top Dance 20, No.1 in Austria and "gold" in many European countries. The other two singles "Hello" and "Valerie" have earned the band popularity not only in the Old Continent but also in Asia.

Joy has performed to more than 50,000 people and has been featured in several popular TV shows. Over the course of their career, the band has released four studio albums (the latest In Love was released in 2021), five best-of collections and 18 singles.
 

Ten O'Clock Postman still raises the Eurofury

Secret Service, another returning band, is no stranger to the world of music. Although the Swedish long-haired band's greatest wave of popularity came in the early 1980s with their hits "Oh Susie", "Ten O'Clock Postman" and the European smash "Flash in the Night", the band is still popular today after a career spanning more than three decades.

The band's performances do not smell of mould, the musicians are in control and entertain the audience, and the euphoria when Ten O'Clock Postman sings is beyond words.

The hits "Oh Susie", "Flash in the Night" and "Flash in the Night" by the world's biggest new wave, rock and pop band, which have conquered the world's biggest stages, have broken the records of the most popular stations in different European countries. In recent years, Secret Service has experienced a resurgence, with the highly acclaimed live quartet being invited to perform not only in the biggest European arenas in Norway, Germany, France, Austria and other European countries, but also at the world's most dominant music festivals.
