About this concert
Emilíana Torrini, geboren in IJsland als dochter van een IJslandse moeder en een Italiaanse vader, begon op zevenjarige leeftijd als sopraan in een koor te zingen. Enkele jaren later schreef ze zich in voor een operaschool. Haar prachtige stem en gevoel voor ritme bleven niet onopgemerkt. Ze trok naar Londen en zong mee op het debuutalbum van GusGus en schreef mee nummers voor Kylie Minogue’s album Body Language uit 2003. Het grote publiek leerde haar kennen dankzij haar vertolking van Gollum’s Song voor de film The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers en haar doorbraakhit Sunny Road. Met Jungle Drum scoorde ze in 2009 een wereldhit, een juweeltje van een nummer dat doet denken aan de hoogdagen van Nancy Sinatra. Jungle Drum stond wekenlang op nummer 1 in verschillende Europese muzieklijsten.
