Aupa四重奏是一支弦乐四重奏，四位成员均有着正统的古典音乐科班背景。他们来自不同的国家和地区（古巴、马德里、巴斯克地区和巴塞罗那），有着不同的文化背景和音乐品味，因此，他们的作品在全部原创的基础上，还糅合了来自不同文化语境下的多元特质。他们的作品无法被归类为单一的风格，但无论是爵士、放克、古巴颂乐[1]还是弗拉明戈，都能让人体会到丰富多样的表达方式之下的内在统一，那便是：轻盈灵动、自在洒脱，多有着即兴挥就的意味，就如乐队的名称一般随性——“Aupa”是巴斯克语中打招呼的常用语，由于乐队成员间常用这一单词来彼此招呼，它便自然而然地成为了队名。乐队在现场演奏时也总会与听众产生自然的互动，鼓励他们一同参与，感受音乐中的愉悦能量。

他们虽然年轻，却已在包括西班牙、意大利和法国在内的欧洲多个国家进行巡演，也曾在上海大剧院演出，并参加了许多知名的音乐节。他们是2014年第一届Made in Shasta音乐大赛的获奖者，也是这次经历为他们赢得了发行第一张专辑《Up》的机会。

Aupa四重奏曾和许多久负盛名的音乐家进行现场合作，包括西班牙弗拉明戈吉他演奏家Antonio Rey，获2009及2013格莱美拉美音乐提名的西班牙歌手India Martínez，加拿大吉他手Cece Giannotti，法国小号手和作曲家Raynald Colom等。他们同时也在录音室和西班牙国宝级弗拉明戈舞蹈家Sara Baras，西班牙弗拉明戈、爵士女歌手Sandra Carrasco，来自美国的拉丁爵士小号手，以及打击乐手Jerry González等知名音乐人合作，在EMI厂牌旗下录制唱片。

他们的演出将呈现出西班牙年轻音乐人的灵感与创想，诠释古典乐器的现代与创新之美。

[1] 古巴颂乐（Cuban Son）：一种源于古巴的音乐和舞蹈风格，并在30年代风靡世界。它是最广为传播也最具影响力的拉美音乐风格之一，由它衍生或与之融合的许多乐系风格都已遍布全球，其中，最为知名的便是Salsa。

Aupa Quartet is a string quartet, all 4 members of the quartet were well trained under classical music system, with different origins, cultures and musical tastes, inspired by Jazz, Funk, Cuban Son[1] and Flamenco, to develop their own, increasingly recognizable style. The name of the quartet “Aupa” is an interjection used to encourage someone to rise up or lift something up. Their music aims to be this interjection, raising the audience’s energy levels and encouraging them to join them in having fun.

From their very first gig to the present day, Aupa Quartet has played at the most important venues in Barcelona. They have toured in Spain, Italy, France and China, where they played at the Shanghai Grand Theatre. In January 2014, Aupa Quartet won the first Made in Shasta competition. Thanks to this award they released first album “UP”.

“美，与众不同，并且毫不妥协。”

—— 音乐记者Julien Broquet

“《Skeletons》是一张声音和颜色都十分饱满的专辑。当Anu Junnonen与Gil Mortio以及鼓手Alain Deval一同占领舞台时，你就可以期待她在歌曲呈现出不可预测的全新维度了。竖起你的耳朵并享受这魔法吧！”

——音乐记者Dirk Steenhaut

Anu Junnonen是芬兰裔比利时人，她是全能的人声奇迹。她的电子音乐是一个超前于时代的迷人发现，坚持在爵士乐、流行乐、电子乐和民谣之间找寻未知的道路，会让你即刻联想到一些频率近似的音乐小宇宙，诸如美国女声St. Vincent、Tune-Yards（美国女声Merrill Garbus的音乐项目）或者法国女声Emilie Simon。

1998年，Anu作为“互惠生（Au Pair）”[1]留居于比利时首都布鲁塞尔期间，结交了当地艺术家David Linx，而后决定定居于此，并进入到音乐学院里学习演唱。在校期间，她与手风琴手Tuur Florizoone组成了二重奏，随后又组建了原声爵士五重奏乐队aNoo。而她与aNoo一起录制的两张专辑——《The Luckless Lands of the North》和《Sinipiika》，都证明了她远远不只是一个纯粹的爵士乐手。事实证明，她的音乐同样受到了芬兰民谣和阿根廷探戈的深刻影响。

《Skeletons》是Anu第一张全权负责的专辑。在这张专辑里，她一如既往地以节奏为出发点，但相较以往，作品表现得更为直接果断，也展现了前所未有的紧迫感。专辑中的9首作品，犀利中带着清透，叛逆中透着和谐，前卫而又不乏亲近。Anu说：“对我来说很重要的一点是，我的歌要能够触动听众，并引起共鸣。”

基于Anu音乐的趣味性与不妥协的原创性，以及她将实体乐器与编程设备结合运用的手法，我们可以说，她与挪威歌手Hanne Hukkelberg实乃系出同源。

[1] 互惠生 (“Au Pair”源于法语)，意思是“平等的”和 “互惠的”。加入计划的青年与寄住家庭在一个互惠互利的关系上生活。寄住家庭为互惠生提供一切生活所需，每月更会给予他们零用钱。相反地，学生则为家庭照顾孩子做简单的家务，被寄住家庭视为家庭成员之一。

“Beautiful, different and uncompromising.”

-– Julien Broquet

“‘Skeletons’ is an album that is rich in both sound and color. And as soon as she takes the stage with Gil Mortio and drummer Alain Deval, you can count on Anu Junnonen to bring out new and unexpected dimensions to her songs. Just prick up your ears and enjoy the magic. ”

— Dirk Steenhaut

Anu Junnonen is a Finnish-Belgian all-around vocal wonder. An intriguing discovery much ahead of her time and resolutely in search of the unknown paths between jazz, pop, electronic music and folk, her eclectic music makes you immediately think of musical universes such as St. Vincent, Tune-Yards or Emilie Simon.

When Anu ended up in Brussels as an “au pair”[1] in 1998 and got acquainted with the music of local artist David Linx, she decided to settle down in the Belgian capital and to enroll in the conservatory to study singing. In between courses she formed a duo with accordionist Tuur Florizoone and subsequently founded the acoustic jazz quintet aNoo. But as the two albums she recorded with that band (“The Luckless Lands of the North” and “Sinipiika”) would prove, Anu was far from being a jazz purist. As it turned out, her music was equally influenced by Finnish folk and Argentinian tango.

“Skeletons” is the first of her records on which she herself was calling the shots. Now that she invariably used rhythm as her point of departure, her work became more immediate and showed more urgency than anything she had ever released before. The nine tracks on the new album sound edgy yet transparent, against the grain yet tuneful, experimental yet accessible. “To me it is important for my songs to move the listener and to provoke a sense of recognition in him or her”, the singer offers.

Due to her playfulness, her uncompromising originality and her way of combining real instruments with programmed machines, it is fair to say Anu belongs to the same musical family as Norwegian singer Hanne Hukkelberg.

[1] An “au pair” is a domestic assistant from a foreign country working for, and living as part of, a host family. Typically, au pairs take on a share of the family’s responsibility for childcare as well as some housework, and receive a monetary allowance for personal use.
