PARADISIO

It started around 1993 when Patrick Samoy and Luc Rigaux better known as The Unity Mixers (aka Unity Power) were deeply impressed by the outstanding voice of a Spanish girl named Marisa Isabel Garcia Asensio. Marisa was born in Malaga, Spain, but currently resides in Belgium. The first release Un Clima ideal was immediately a smash hit all over Belgium. Their second single Bailando sold worldwide over 1.000.000 copies in less than a year (and 5.000.000 throughout the years). The sexy way in which Marisa sang 'Si senor...' probably reminded a lot of young people of their first summer holiday love. No wonder that it went to #1 in Belgium, Italy, Denmark, Norway, Finland... sold more than 450.000 copies only in France and was the best selling single in Sweden ever (triple platinum!!). The third single Vamos a la discoteca was bingo again. By using a wide range of coloured wigs for every public perfomance Marisa created for herself a distinctive image. In the meantime the full album has been released accross Europe... Paseo was the last single featuring Marisa. There was also a vocalist called Angie B who appeared in some TV shows, lipsyncing over her voice. It is not known wether her appearances were official or not. In 1999 Paradisio released a new single called Samba del Diablo featuring a new female vocalist, Sandra De Gregorio (born in Napoli on October 30th 1976) along with Morena Esperanza, her sister, aka Micheline De Gregorio. Under the alias Esperanza, Micheline scored a hit with El Ritmo Caliente (a Patrick Samoy production too) the same year. It was followed by La Propanganda.
