艺人资料

Lou Bega是一位来自古巴的黑人拉丁男歌手。出生于1975年4月13日。这位古巴歌手是在德国长大，从17岁开始就对节奏&布鲁斯、雷鬼等黑人音乐产生了浓厚的兴趣。

Lou Bega最初在欧洲发展，并在那儿取得了相当高的知名度。Lou Bega的音乐创作受到三、四十年代曼波(Mambo)舞王作品的影响是巨大的，在他的音乐里，你无时无刻不被这种老掉牙的拉丁曲风所震动，他的打入 1999年夏天美国排行榜的单曲《Mambo No.5》和畅销专辑《A Little Bit Of Mambo》(来一点点曼波舞曲)均打上了“曼波”的烙印。

Lou Bega近似机械式节奏的拉丁曼波音乐很容易让你联想到说唱乐，有意思的是Lou Bega为展现其拉丁曼波的独特神韵，还坚持以黑白画面的手法来拍摄他的MTV录影带。

无可救药的幽默浪漫情怀，让人一听就上瘾，他把非洲、古巴节奏，摇摆骚灵和说唱（RAP）混合成为自己独特的音乐风格，单曲《A little BIT Of Mambo》(中文名“企鹅舞”)舞曲版您肯定听过，那您最好再听听原汁原味不加改编的《企鹅舞》吧！来自德国但身上流着南美洲人既浪漫又乐天的血液，Lou Bega的音乐也和他本人一样，充满了无可救药的幽默浪漫情愫，让人一听就上瘾，不可自拔地爱上他音乐中那股热带风情。在庐·贝加（Lou Bega）的歌曲中，你可以听到任何可能的音乐元素出现其中，有SAMBA、SOUL、REGGAE、POP、RAP，甚至还有SWING，天马行空式正是Lou Bega的创作理念，巧妙地将各种音乐类型共冶一炉，令人们开眼界。 Lou Bega的个人首张专辑《A little BIT Of Mambo（曼波狂潮）》在欧洲发行之后，获得乐迷极大的回响，甚至引起一阵风潮，一举进占德国Deutschland排行榜上首位，击败包括Whiney Houston和Will Smith在内等多位超级国际巨星，在丹麦、瑞典和挪威等国也同样取得相当优异的成绩；仅在德国一地，其专辑销量便突破百万大关，可说是一鸣惊人。在本专辑《A little BIT Of Mambo（曼波狂潮）》中，所有歌曲的创作均出自Lou Bega之手，更特别请到德国近年来颇受好评的新锐制作人Frank Lio挎刀演出，佳评不断。

Life and career

Lou Bega (born David Lubega on 13 April 1975) is a German mambo musician of Italian and Ugandan descent. He is most famous for "Mambo No. 5", his 1999 remake of the Pérez Prado instrumental from 1949. Bega added his own words to the song and sampled the original version extensively. Bega's musical signature consists of combining musical elements of the 1940s and 1950s with modern beats and grooves.

Bega started his musical career as a rapper. At the age of 13, he founded a hip hop group with two other boys. It would be two years before Bega and his friends' first CD would be released in 1990.While living in Miami he discovered Latin music. After returning to Munich, Bega met his then manager, Goar Biesenkamp, as well as music producers "Frank Lio" (Achim Kleist) and "Donald Fact" (Wolfgang von Webenau) (Syndicate Musicproduction), with whom he developed the concept for the song "Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit of...)". Bega signed a recording contract to the label ‘Lautstark’.

His first single "Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit of...)" became an instant worldwide hit in 1999, charting at No. 1 in most European countries, including Germany, UK, France, and No.3 in the United States. In France, "Mambo No. 5" spent twenty weeks at No.1. It was also used by the British television broadcaster, Channel 4 for their coverage of Test match cricket between 1999 and 2005.

On 19 July 1999, Bega released his debut album ‘A little bit of Mambo’, which peaked at No. 3 both in Bega's native country, Germany and also in the U.S. While it charted moderately in the UK, peaking at only No. 50, it reached No. 1 in Austria, Canada, Finland, Hungary, and Switzerland.The second single, "I Got a Girl" charted well, entering the Top 10 in some European countries, including France, Finland and Belgium. The third single, "Tricky, Tricky", achieved No. 18 on the Canadian charts and No. 74 on the U.S. Billboard Charts. In France, Bega did well also with his single "Mambo Mambo", which reached No. 11 on the French charts.

Bega's second studio album ‘Ladies and Gentlemen’ was released on 28 May 2001. The album failed to experience success similar to its predecessor in Bega's native market or internationally. It peaked at No. 54 in Germany.It reached No. 23 on Switzerland's album chart.The album produced two singles, "Just a Gigolo" and "Gentleman", both of which charted moderately.

Bega released his third studio album ‘Lounatic’ on 10 May 2005, which failed to enter the charts.

On 21 May 2010, Bega released his fourth album called ‘Free Again’, which also didn't find much success on the charts. It only charted in Switzerland peaking at No. 78.

Bega's fifth studio album ‘A Little Bit of 80's’ was released on 28 June 2013, in Germany on Ariola (Sony music). In his latest material, Bega again covers classic international hits including "Smooth Operator" (1984)" by Sade, "I'm So Excited" (1982) by The Pointer Sisters, "Vamos a la playa" (1983) by Righeira, "Red Red Wine" (1968) by Neil Diamond and "Karma Chameleon" (1983) by Culture Club. Bega's first single off his fifth album, however, is "Give It Up" which was released in Germany on 14 June 2013.The song peaked at No. 6 in Germany.
