Latvian Eurovision sensation Aminata has released a music video for her new single \u201cFighter\u201d that has been directed by And\u017eejs Gavri\u0161s. \u201cFighter\u201d is the first single from her new album \u201cRed Moon\u201d that will be released later this year.<\/p>\n
In order to prepare for shooting, Aminata spent two months training every other day in boxing with a help of a professional fighter Jevg\u0113\u0146ijs Aleksejevs who reprises his role as her coach in the video as well. \u201cTo me, it was a whole new experience! In the beginning, I was afraid to hit someone and always apologized after every hit. But I really enjoy boxing so I got used to that and will continue training even now when the filming of the video is over. I\u2019m really proud of what we have made \u2013 filming was very difficult and physical but there were no stunt doubles and fighting scenes are almost real. Both of my opponents in the video Sab\u012bna Kukute and Kar\u012bna Saule are professional boxers and did their best to make it look real and protect me at the same time. Especially difficult was the last scene that was filmed in \u201cArena Riga\u201d. We wanted to show real fight in a real arena with lots of fans and in the end, we succeed. Many thanks to my sponsors, actors, crew and the director \u2013 without you I couldn\u2019t have done such an amazing job!\u201d<\/p>\n
Director And\u017eejs Gavri\u0161s notes that he always had wanted to film a boxing story. \u201cI always have been interested in sports movies so I always have wanted to make one of my own. So thanks to Aminata I had the chance to do so! We prepared for this video for approximately two months finding perfect locations, filming scenes over and over in order to make them as real as possible. Before this, I didn\u2019t know any boxers, but now I believe that they are the nicest persons in the world!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
