UGilla (Gilla) ungumculi odumile wase-Austria owadlala uhlobo lwe-disco. Inani eliphakeme lomsebenzi nodumo lalingama-1970s ekhulwini elidlule.
Iminyaka yokuqala kanye nokuqala kukaGilla
Igama langempela lomculi nguGisela Wuchinger, wazalwa ngoFebhuwari 27, 1950 e-Austria. Idolobha lakubo yiLinz (idolobha elisemaphandleni elikhulu kakhulu). Uthando lomculo lwafakwa entombazaneni isencane.
Cishe wonke amalungu omndeni wakhe ayekwazi ukudlala izinsimbi zomculo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uyise waze wahola iqembu elikhulu lomculo, njengoba umculi we-jazz owaziwa kakhulu (insimbi yakhe yayiyicilongo).
UGisela waqala ukuzama izinsimbi ezahlukene futhi esemncane waqala ukufunda ukudlala isiginci se-bass. Esikoleni, wafunda indlela yokudlala i-organ ne-trombone. Lapho ikhula, intombazane yaqala ukuqonda ukuthi ingathanda ukuxhuma impilo yayo nomculo. Ngakho-ke, ngemva kokuphothula iziqu, wayefuna amathuba okungenela umkhakha womculo.
Ngakho iqembu "75 Umculo" yasungulwa. Yayihlanganisa abaculi abaningana abasebasha. Phakathi kwabo kwakunensizwa okuthiwa uHelmut Roelofs, eyaba umyeni kaGilla.
Kube yizwi lalo mculi osemusha elenza umphakathi wazinaka. Ekuqaleni, imidlalo eminingi yenziwa ikakhulukazi ezindaweni zokudlela nezindawo zokudlela. Komunye wemidlalo, abafana babonwa nguFrank Farian, umqambi nomdidiyeli owayesafuna abadlali abanamakhono. UFarian wayelithanda ngempela izwi likaGisela, ngakho ngokushesha wanikeza lonke iqembu isivumelwano sokubambisana.
Ithimba le-75 Music lisayine inkontileka nelebuli yomculo ye-Hansa Record. Isikhathi sokuqopha izingoma ezingashadile. Eyokuqala yazo kwakuyingoma ethi Mir Ist Kein Weg Zu Weit, okwakuyinguqulo yengoma edumile yase-Italy.
Ingoma elandelayo eqoshiwe nayo yaba inguqulo yekhava. Ngalesi sikhathi abafana benza inguqulo yabo ye-Lady Marmalade. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, umbhalo uye waba nezinguquko ezithile uma uqhathaniswa nowokuqala.
Uma ekuqaleni ingoma yayikhuluma ngesifebe, khona-ke enguqulweni yeqembu le-75 Music yayikhuluma ngentombazane elala ne-teddy bear (ngasikhathi sinye, incazelo yokuqamba ayizange ilahleke, kodwa yayiyindida kuphela. zimboziwe). Ukuvinjelwa emsakazweni akuzange kuvimbele ukuthandwa kokwakheka, abafana baqala igagasi lokuqala lokuthandwa.
Ukunyuka Kokuduma kukaGilla
Kwaphinde kwaba nguGilla owafika phambili. Nganginesithakazelo ezwini lakhe - eliphansi nelijulile, kanye nesithombe esingajwayelekile - intombazane encane, encane isezingeni elilinganayo namadoda aphethe isiginci esikhulu ezandleni zabo. Ngempumelelo yokuqala kwaba ukuhlakazwa kweqembu. UFarian uthathe abantu abambalwa abasha washiya abadlali abathathu eqenjini le-75 Music. UGilla wayephakathi kwabo. Iphrojekthi entsha iqophe i-albhamu yokuqala ngesitayela esihluke kakhulu - i-disco.
I-albhamu iqukethe izinguqulo eziningi zekhava, kanye nenani lezingoma ezidumile - uMir Ist Kein Weg Zu Weit no-Lieben und Frei Sein (wonke umuntu uzozibona ngokuzayo njengamahithi ka-Boney M.). Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi izingoma ezimbalwa zika-Gilla nazo kamuva zadluliselwa ku-Boney M. futhi zaba amahithi omhlaba (izingoma zadluliswa ngumdidiyeli u-Frank).
Ngo-1975, irekhodi lokuqala likaGilla lakhululwa. Uma sikhuluma ngalolu hlobo, akucaci kahle ukuthi iyiphi phakathi kwazo okungabalelwa kuyo. Kwakukhona i-disco, ne-folk, ne-rock, nezinye izindlela eziningi. Naphezu kokuthi le albhamu ibifuna isitayela sayo, ibe yimpumelelo kakhulu. Ukuthengisa kwaba kuhle, baqala ukubona uGilla.
Ngo-1976 kwaba unyaka lapho umculi ahlanganisa ngokuzethemba isikhundla sakhe. Ingoma ethi Ich Brenne evela ku-albhamu ezayo yaba yingoma yase-Europe. Irekhodi elisha elithi Zieh Mich Aus (1977) libe namathuba amahle kakhulu okuphumelela. U-Johnny uwuphawu lwe-albhamu. Lena ingoma esaduma nanamuhla.
Ama-albhamu amabili okuqala, nakuba ayedumile, ayengaziwa ngaphandle kweJalimane nakwamanye amazwe aseYurophu. Ukuze athole udumo emhlabeni wonke, umdidiyeli walo mculi wanquma ukuthi kudingeka irekhodi eliqoshwe ngesiNgisi. Usizo! Usizo! (1977) kwaba ukukhululwa okunjalo. Lokhu kwakungeyona into entsha.
Ukuthandwa komculi uGilla bekwehla
Nanka wonke amahithi asevele aziwa ka-Gilla, ahlanganiswe ngolimi olufiswayo. Nokho, impumelelo eyayilindelwe yayingekho. UFarian wanquma ukuthi iphuzu lonke kwakuwukuntuleka kwezingoma ezintsha. Uphinde wakhipha ingoma entsha ngezingoma ezimbalwa.
I-albhamu ikhishwe ngaphansi kwegama elisha elithi Bend Me, Shape Me (emva kwengoma eyodwa yezingoma ezintsha) futhi ibingcono kakhulu ekuthengisweni. Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile, uFarian wathola umkhiqizi omusha wentombazane, ngoba into yokuqala yayiyi "ukukhuthazwa" kukaBoney M.
UGilla ukhiphe irekhodi lakhe elilandelayo ngo-1980. I-I Like Some Cool Rock'n'Roll iphenduke i-albhamu eqinile. Abagxeki babezazisa izingoma eziningi, kodwa i-disc ayizange iphumelele ngokwemibandela yokuthengisa. Ilebula belilindele ukubuya okukhulu kakhulu. Mhlawumbe iphuzu laliwukuthi ukuthandwa kwesitayela se-disco kwase kuqala ukwehla kancane kancane.
Ngemva kwesikhashana, kwabhalwa ingoma ethi I See A Boat On The River. Bekufanele kube ingoma entsha kaGilla. Kodwa kwanqunywa ukubuyisela ukwakheka kuBoney M. Akwaziwa ukuthi lokhu kwakulungile kangakanani emsebenzini womculi. Kodwa kuBoney M. le single yaba yingoma eshisa izikhotha. Ingoma ithengise izinombolo ezibalulekile, nangaphambi kokukhishwa kwe-albhamu, futhi yaba yingoma yomhlaba wonke.

Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, akazange aqophe izingoma ezintsha, edlala izikhathi eziningana kuphela kumakhonsathi ahlukahlukene nemidlalo ye-TV. Ikakhulukazi, wayebonakala izikhathi eziningana eRussia emakhonsathini amakhulu anikezelwe emculweni wama-1980 nawo-1990.
Ngakho-ke, umsebenzi kaGilla awuzange uvezwe ngokugcwele. Naphezu kwazo zonke izimfuneko zokuthola udumo emhlabeni wonke, iphrojekthi ye-Gilla yaziwa kuphela emazweni ambalwa. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, le phrojekthi inikeze inani lamahithi eqenjini elaziwa kuze kube manje uBoney M. Umyeni womculi uGilla manje usebenza nomdidiyeli uFrank Farian.
