To honour the very special, 10-year relationship I had with a New York dancer (shown in the photo) who was both fragile and extraordinarily strong. Thank you for everything we shared, Nika...



[A]Floats like a [Bbdim]feather and [Bm7]sinks like a [G]stone
[D]When we're [Bm7]together [E7]she feels [A7]alone
[A]I don't know [Bbdim]whether I'm [Bm7]coming or [G]going
[D]My prima baller-[A]in-[D]a, [E]oh [B][E]

[E]La mia [B]pri-[E]ma baller-[B]i-[E]na, [D]oh [A][D][A][D]

Right from the start she was never in doubt
I didn't know what I was talking about 
Though we're apart I can't do without 
My prima ballerina, oh

La mia prima ballerina, oh

She's tough and she's smart but she breaks easily
She wanted a husband, it couldn't be me
But she found my heart and she'll always be...
My prima ballerina, oh

La mia prima ballerina, oh

Prima Ballerina

It all started in March 2020.
I was twiddling with my mandolin and suddenly, this melody came out.
I used two mandolin parts and a mandocello to nail this original tune…

A long time ago I wrote Samba for Chick,  in honor of the amazing Chick Corea, one of my musical heroes. Thanks to the incredible Cubase and keyboard skills of my dear friend Wilco Koster (love you, bro!) I can now share it with you... enjoy!

Sincerely,

Emiel Wienholts (e-malemusic)

PS. Be sure to check out Wilco's bad-ass Chick-inspired keybaord solo!
