- 21:05Visul și ritmul tău | Mădălina Pavăl | TEDxSatuMareMădălina Pavăl la TEDxSatuMare #MoreThanYouThink Inspirația nu vine de câte ori o chemi. Trebuie să muncești pentru asta. Uneori te pui la masă și ea va veni. Și răspunsul pentru asta e disciplina, poate… dar nu disciplina riguroasă ți rigidă, e vorba de dedicarea noastră zilnică pentru visul nostru. Mădălina Pavăl și-a petrecut copilăria într-un sat din Bucovina, pe malul unui râu, unde a învățat că muzica îi e lumească. A învățat-o de-a lungul anilor să devină acel gen de artist, căreia îi place să dea viață și formă ideilor, uneori prin muzică, alteori prin proiecte creative. Are o experiență vastă în lumea muzicii, printre care 2 albume realizate timp de 3 ani cu trupa Subcarpați.Alături de producătorul și compozitorul Alexei Țurcan au pus bazele unei formule de performance ce se numește Mădălina Pavăl Orchestra. Mădălina spune că se află pe drumul căutării eterne de sine și folosește muzica și rădăcinile, dorul și tradițiile pentru a se căuta pe sine. Iar pentru toate acestea folosește muzica pentru a se exprima. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
