TIRANA, September 15/ATA/ Glykeria, the iconic singer of Greek music has arrived in Tirana for the concert at the Amphitheater at the Grand Park of Tirana tonight.
Accompanied by a band of 14 musicians led by the Albanian composer and musician Dasho Kurti, who is also a concertmaster of Giannis Parios and Jorgo Dalaras, the internationally renowned artist was received by Mayor of Tirana Erion Veliaj who gave her the symbol of the Clock Tower as a gift and memoir from the Albanian capital.
“I am very happy that Glykeria and her band are with us today in Tirana. I say, music unites peoples and just as we have Greek songs and Albanian songs that will delight us today at the Amphitheater, during the week there will be Ermal Meta with an Italian-Albanian band. Therefore, I believe that when neighbors communicate with a language that everyone understands, such as the language of music, the language of beauty, love and song, we guarantee a good neighborhood. It is very important that the prime ministers are friends, that the mayors are friends, but when people are the ones who exchange numbers every day, and then our neighborhood is also guaranteed,” said Veliaj.
The singer, one of the most successful in the history of Greek folk song, has expressed her gratitude for the hospitality she received in Tirana, the city that, as she said, has amazed her.
“The city is wonderful! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to visit! We are here since yesterday and the hospitality is very warm. We had dinner at a restaurant where people came and greeted us. We had the opportunity to visit the city which has changed a lot and is wonderful. We are very grateful to the mayor for welcoming us to the office because we found a young man, very dynamic and inclined to deal with all the current affairs of the city,” said the Greek singer, among other things.
Glykeria’s concert promises tonight a program full of surprises, where like never before in a concert mixed Albanian and Greek melodies will be played. /a.a/p.s./
