With Eleftheria Arvanitaki’s return summer is complete
“A summer without Eleftheria isn’t possible.” That’s what her fans were saying, because Cyprus hosts Greek singer Eleftheria Arvanitaki almost every summer. Fear not, the tradition will not be broken. Despite the pandemic and the travel limitations, she is performing in two concerts next week.
“For years her music and songs have been a company for us in our joys and sorrows,” organisers said, “in our loneliest moments but also in our big celebrations.” She’s sung folk, jazz, pop, Greek melodies and foreign tunes and after a lengthy successful career, her voice is instantly recognisable. In her upcoming concerts, on August 31 at Skali Aglandjias and September 1 at Limassol’s Open-air Theatre, the singer will perform her all-time classics, well-known covers as well as songs from her latest album Ta Megala Taxidia.
Accompanying her for the two Cyprus concerts are five musicians with whom she has been collaborating for the last few years: Giorgos Georgiades, Dimitris Tsakas, Giannis Kirimkirides, Nikos Mermigkas and Alexandros Ktistakis.
