Greece: Good news, Bad news

Good News:

"The first ever (and only, so far) winner of the Eurovision Song Contest for Greece, Helena Paparizou is about to start recordings for her international album.[..]
At the moment she is touring Greece giving concerts along with Manos Pirovolakis."

Bad News:

"The pressure of the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest and the treatment Kalomira had from the Greek media and press before and after Belgrade seems to be the main reason for her trip back to her family in New York. This is what we get from her father's statement in an interview in Downtown magazine.

Kalomira was mistreated and wasn't paid for her promo activities he said but at the end he leaves an opening for his daughter to come back in Greece in August. The news come as a shock since it is weird how a young artist who reached almost the top in Eurovision and applauded (afterwards) in Greece, stops everything. At the moment Kalomira is in New York close to her family, especially her sister who gave birth to her first child."

Nana Mouskouri bids farewell with Athens concert

Nana Mouskouri has bid adieu to a remarkable half-century in music with a farewell concert in her native Greece at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens.

Fans filled the ancient Odeon of Herodes Atticus on Wednesday evening to hear the 73-year-old songstress -- one of the best-selling recording artists of all time -- perform from her wide repertoire.

Hours earlier, the city of Athens bestowed its gold medal on Mouskouri, who has been on a worldwide farewell tour since she announced her plans to retire three years ago.

Born on the island of Crete, the bespectacled Mouskouri has sold more than 300 million records in French, English, Germany, Greek, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Hebrew and Japanese, her record company Universal says.

She was also engaged in humanitarian work, serving as a UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) ambassador, and served as a Greek member of the European Parliament in the 1990s.

Sakis Rouvas to Moscow!

According to mad.tv and oikotimes.com Sakis Rouvas will represent Greece next year in Moscow.

"The Greek national broadcaster confirmed the news to oikotimes.com few moments ago but officially they will launch a special press conference most likely in September. This makes Greece the first country revealing its artist for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest. The song might be also internally selected but for sure either internally or selected by the public will be delivered by Dimitris Kontopoulos, secure sources told us."

Anna Vissi has new album after two year gap

Anna Vissi will be set to launch her brand new album - in the wake of a two year gap in the music industry.

The singer had ventured into a pain-staking procedure of sorting through 600 potential tunes, for the requirements of the eagerly anticipated album.

Her implementation of the "action plan" at a revival of her career is not only focused on fresh releases, but will also extend to giving a series of performances at the Athinon Arena, in the winter.

"I'm not doing an album with a Diva attitude - it feels the same as when I was 18 and I was searching for songs I liked. I'm seeking new sounds, something that only new people can give." (DownTown)


The collaboration with American producers/writers Diane Warren, Glen Ballard, and Brian Hewes, and Robbin Di Maggio, is to create a fresh chapter, in her illustrious career.

"One in Greek and one international which will be released later on. Patrick R. Leonard is one of the composers for the international album, famous from his collaboration with Madonna (he wrote Frozen and Like a prayer) and whom I'm very happy to be working with".

"As for the composers... let this be a surprise. I have listened to more than 600 songs, I'm in a studio from morning to night and I feel that I'm living a very special period of my life".


Listen the promo song Diri Daxta which is sung in Greek/English.
