Imany is coming to Greece for the first time

Coming in February to Gazarte
Nostalgic, romantic, sensitive, determined, melancholy, magical… Imany, the beautiful French woman who with only one song, το «You will never know», became famous overnight will be found on 11 and 12 February for the first time in Athens, on Gazarte's stage.
Child of a family of 10, originally from the Comoro Islands in Africa, Imany grew up in the suburbs of Paris. "To sing. Just what I wanted most since I was seven years old.
Then of course I thought that this is something that other people do and not me", Nadia Mladjao confided in her first interviews, as her real name is .
"When I was little, no one told me my voice was good, they only said she was 'strong' so I didn't think the song suited me".
Any thoughts of furthering her childhood dreams were put to rest when "Nadia" was discovered on the subway in Paris so there followed seven years of modeling during which when she was not working, she wrote her songs. Nadia became "Imany" (means "faith" in Swahili). A correct choice as it turned out in hindsight. "Without faith we can achieve nothing", says.
After three years in New York, Imany decided to return to Paris, having beautiful clothes in her luggage, a portfolio with photos as well as a demo CD with six songs that she herself had edited.
Then, decided to be more actively involved in music and try her hand on stage. Her first appearances in Paris quickly created a loyal core of fans. Reviews made special mention of the melancholy sweetness of her voice, while comparisons with Tracy Chapman and Billie Holiday were not lacking. The name Imany began to be discussed outside of Paris.
He gained fame, he also had ready-made songs, the road now seemed open. She immediately recorded her first album and managed to surprise Europe with the sincerity of her songs. Soon most noticed her voice despite her beauty. He had won the bet.

"Traveling with the Southern Cross" in Megaro

A different kind of Christmas entertainment
An adventurous and charming musical fairy tale, inspired by the "Southern Cross" in the poetry of Nikos Kavadias, milestone project in the career of the composer Thanos Mikroutsikos, will star at the Christmas events of the Athens Concert Hall.

The reason for the musical performance "Traveling with the Southern Cross" which is staged for ten performances from 22 until 30 December (22,23,26,27,28,29 and 30/12 at 8.30 pm and 23,26 and 30/12 at 5 pm), in the Christos Lambrakis room that has been specially designed for the event, by set designer Giorgos Vafias, like a big ship.

It is a different Christmas multi-spectacle with the participation of great singers, musicians, actors and dancers that appeals to the imagination and maturity of children but also to the sensitivity of adults.

"The Cross of the South" in poetry by Nikos Kavadias is a work alive for its creator, Thanos Mikroutsikos, since from the time of the composition of the first songs (1977) until today, it is constantly changing and is the spearhead of his songwriting. The composer's now-legendary songs that brought the "great traveler of poetry" close to the young after urging them to "dance on the shark's fin", to push their limits and conquer the impossible, today they become the trigger for a performance full of music, fairy tales and scenic symbols that aspire to take the younger generation along on a journey into the world of fantasy.

The popular compositions of Thanos Mikroutsikos – with him, of course, also present in the role of performer – they travel together with the texts written by the author Maria Papagianni, inspired by the magical images that emerge from the texts of Kavadias and others, derived from well-known nautical tales, Greek and foreign.

The performance is directed by Thanos Mikroutsikos, while the choreography is by Cecile Mikroutsikou..

Storytellers participate – singers Christos Thibeos, Kostas Thomaidis, Rita Antonopoulou and Anna Linardou.

The hair on her cheek indicates her heat, but for the town where he lives, a widow is just a used one. No rights. Antidote to her fantasy, the zucchinis. And the mind... I understand. But the bad is not long in coming.
Temptation arises. And he's short, but with qualifications. And how can Erasmia go against the libido?; Rapist and victim together, desires the forbidden. And when he dares to provoke it, immediate punishment.
Reason is a contract and what is promised must be kept.
