Also known as Mauna Ki

ENGLISH TEXT

Scorrere in basso per il testo italiano

Born in Kyoto from an Anglo-Japanese family, thanks to her father's profession (he was an estimated diplomat) Sarah spent his childhood and youth in different Asian countries: China, India and Thailand, absorbing languages, cultures and traditions.

As befits a woman of her rank, in addition to attending the best English school in Kyoto she was encouraged by her mother, a talented Japanese artist, to learn, at a famous school for geishas, subjects as singing, music, dance, chado, ikebana, haiku, origami... that is to say all the traditional arts destined to cheer, especially the opposite sex.

When she was 21 years old, Sarah decided to travel to the West: first to the USA (New York, Boston, Malibu, where she joined some New Age centers), then to Europe (London, Barcelona, Prague, Turin and Paris). In Turin, she met Fabien de La Noisette, who asked her to became a member of Fratelli Stellari group: Sarah accepted and took part in some songs under the pseudonym of Mauna Ki; as a showgirl, she appears in some videos too.

At present she lives in a lovely, tiny attic in Rome where, along with her cats, she prepares her shows and wander at night on the roofs of the Eternal City.

TESTO ITALIANO

Nata a Kyoto da una famiglia anglo-giapponese, grazie alla professione del padre (uno stimato diplomatico) Sarah trascorse la propria giovinezza in vari Paesi asiatici: Cina, India e Thailandia, assorbendo lingue, culture e tradizioni.

Come si addice a una donna del suo rango, oltre a frequentare la migliore scuola inglese di Kyoto fu incoraggiata dalla madre, un'artista giapponese di talento, a imparare presso una famosa scuola per geishe discipline come canto, musica, danza, chado, ikebana, haiku, origami... vale a dire tutte le arti tradizionali destinate a stimolare il buonumore, specialmente nel sesso opposto.

All'età di 21 anni Sarah decise di viaggiare in Occidente: prima negli USA (New York, Boston, Malibu, dove frequentò alcuni circoli New Age), poi in Europa (Londra, Barcellona, Praga, Torino e Parigi). A Torino incontrò Fabien de La Noisette, il quale le propose di diventare un membro del gruppo Fratelli Stellari: Sarah accettò e prese parte ad alcune canzoni con lo pseudonimo Mauna Ki; come soubrette appare anche in alcuni video.

Attualmente vive in una minuscola, graziosa mansarda a Roma dove, insieme ai suoi gatti, prepara i propri spettacoli e vaga di notte sui tetti della Città Eterna.
