Gary Brolsma Returns With New Numa Numa

Posted on September 9, 2006

Gary Brolsma has returned to Internet fame with a great new music video called New Numa Numa. The new video, located at the New Numa YouTube channel is produced by Experience Studios (Seattle, WA) and features Gary and his band, The Nowadays, dancing and lip-syncing to music by DJ Variety Beats.

In 2004, Gary Brolsma uploaded a video to the Internet that featured him dancing and lip-syncing to an obscure Romanian pop song. The video was copied on several websites and quickly exploded in popularity leading to press coverage and numerous web parodies. Several newspaper stories (see Wikipedia entry) indicated that Brolsma was unhappy with his Internet fame and all the parodies of his video. However, Brolsma now appears to have embraced his fame and says he was encouraged by people asking him when he would make another video. He has launched a website that contains a link to the New Numa Numa video as well as a contest that will award prizes to the developer of the best New Numa video video. The top prize is worth $45,000. Here is some background from the launch press release.

Brolsma has teamed up with Minneapolis, Minnesota based Jaeter Corporation to promote the website. Brolsma's site includes music downloads, ringtones and t-shirts -- he is ready to earn some cash from his lip-syncing video talents this go around.

The New Numa website also includes a page for Dan Balan, the writer/producer of the hit song "Dragostea Din Tei" (also known as "The Numa Numa Song"). The immensly popular song track reached the #1 spot in 32 countries and sold over 12,000,000 units worldwide.

We are fans of Gary Brolsma and Numa Numa and we are glad he had the courage to return to the Internet with a very cool new Numa Numa video.
