BIOGRAPHY:

As the name of the band indicates, Big Mama is a 4-member female vocal band consisting of 4 “big” women – both in terms of physique and vocal talents. Despite their great talents in singing, most of the 4 members of the band had to perform as back chorus singers because of their “not so beautiful” appearances. Of course, that is only compared to the female singers who have Barbie-like figures and faces. Yang Hyun-seok, Former member of Taeji and Boys, discovered the talents of the 4 female vocalists and teamed them up as a band to stir up the local pop music scene with a sensational wave that great singers with great voices can be successful without brilliant dances or appearances. Shin Yeona, the eldest member of the band had made her debut in the pop music scene by winning a silver prize at the Riverside Song Festival held in 1995. Since then she had been actively performing as lyrics writer and singer behind the scenes of various television and radio commercials and theme songs for televisions dramas until she joined Big Mama. Lee Young-hyun had won a special prize at the Riverside Song Festival held in 2000. Lee Ji-young had performed with the Han Sang-won band as a vocalist. One of the most extraordinary conditions of contract for the band Big Mama was that if any of the members would have a plastic surgery, the whole band will have to be disbanded. Thus, the promotion of the vocal band focused on highlighting the band’s vocal talent rather than its appearance. As soon as its debut, the band proved that it’s only the music that counts for the success of a band.

do anybody know if they have an English official website? I want to write to them.

There's such limited info. on them and I rarely see them nowadays.

Not sure if the cafe is open to foreigners.

was this thread listed in the index?

it sucks that i can't find out what they're doing or access other stuff from the website b/c i'm a foreigner and can't register.

Yeon is such a good song. i thought it was a great performance.

Oh wow! Thanks for the thread. I was looking around for their info for a while now. The first time I saw them was in one of Yoon Do Hyun Loveletter show quite sometime ago. I was so amazed by their voices. I like them even more because they are all so naturally beautiful in their own way (makes me feel beautiful too! :blush: ). Their live performances in the shows are just brilliant!
