Press Release

1st Draft of the Press Release:

"Born and raised in the Venezuelan city of Maracaribo, new star to hit the spotlight, ‘someone’ plays Golnessa, a girl who rises from a life of unattainable ambitions and distant dreams, to the world of stardom, glamour and fame. As dancers, Golnessa and her friends form the Gina Girls, and perform nightly at their local bar Mercado. After being spotted by British Producer Marcus (Williams) the girls are dramatically whirled into planet ‘celeb’ and find themselves dancing in full view of the world, performing at huge venues and attending a-list soirees. But does the rollercoaster of fame prove too much for Golnessa, and do the melodious sounds of South America seem far sweeter than the loud, harsh and claustrophobic bubble of London?

‘Mercado, the soundtrack from the original motion picture’ is an eclectic collection of sound. Intertwining Latin-infused tracks with new, gritty, London-based bands, the music makes ‘Mercado’ the spectacular film it has become. Dance is a major motif in the film, and the soundtrack totally reflects this...headlined by Papi Cazo’s ‘Takin’ it Over’, the album uses manic beats, riotous trumpets, and flamboyant melodies, to inspire listeners to get up on their feet and salsa like Golnessa.

In collaboration with the film, ‘someone’ will be making special guest appearances on MTV’s ‘TRL’, BBC’s ‘Friday Night with Jonathon Ross’, and Channel 4’s Saturday morning show ‘T4’, performing the film’s most spectacular dance routine, to the headlining single ‘Takin’ it Over’. Golnessa and the Gina Girls are also scheduled to tour next March with a multitude of artists from the soundtrack to truly show the world their stuff, and a dance along DVD to the film will be available to buy from December 10th, so those at home can learn the real dance moves from the experts.

'Mercado' is to be premiered on the 1st of December, and will be let loose to the public on the 5th. This is to be followed closely by the sublime soundtrack on the 10th of December. Find out more about the film online at www.mercado.com, and the soundtrack will be downloadable there from the 15th of December onwards."
