Biography
With her first album Lisa Weiss directly shows her soul. Nothing stays hidden. This Sintezza does not hold anything back and she lets her heart speak freely. Her search for her roots is long, painful and sad and gives her liberation. Her disarming songs and music tell stories about passion and love.
Sinti seldomly speak about pain, sadness and great silence that happened to them. It stays hidden in the hearts of people, their lips are sealed. The self chosen isolation, sadness, loneliness, nights which drag up everything… In the wagons and near by the fires the sadness and the loneliness are chased away by singing and dancing. Passionated, liberated and with an unbridled energy and flows of happyness and joy, they forget what struck them.
Martijn Alsters played a very important role at the start of Lisa Weiss studio album. Lalla Weiss and Lizzy Schäfer helped her with the songtexts in Romanesch. At this moment she is working on several new songs and we hope that she will not let us wait for a long time for her second album.
Lisa Weiss performs with a small cast as well as with her permanent band DaMuSiCa. The beginning of her performances are often theatrical and soon she knows how to touch her public and to lead them into her ecstasy. Very special are her performances in her small, intimate and atmospheric theatre Marianum in Venlo. Here she also invites other interesting musicians, with whom she feels a tie of kinship. The design and decoration of this theatre Marianum is Lisa Weiss’ own creation. This creative woman is multi-talented.
From one side the songs of Lisa are melancholic as the sadness and pain of the past is sung in Sinti-Romanesch. From the other side a tremendous energy emerges with whipping and liberating music.
