“Many of the comments heard regarding the song that will represent Greece with the performer, Marina Satti, both positive and negative. Song title “Zari”. Marina undoubtedly has a wonderful voice that is strongly reminiscent of Nargie, (1929-1981) an old Indian actress and singer who was in her time India’s leading singer but also with many Greek fans.
And the truth is that Satti looks more Indian than Greek-Sudanese and she might have a brilliant career in Bollywood, with such talent that apart from her natural charisma, it seems that she has worked hard on her, her filming is unique. Marina is beautiful, also very young, there is freshness in her face and movements. And all this is a plus to win points in the competition. She’s also the girl next door and that means you want to hug her, make her your friend. In addition, due to her voice, she has the ability to present a song through simple shots, without spending on impressive, expensive sets, enchanting only with her timbre. However, there is a dividing line between the presentation of a song judged by the Greek audience and a song judged by all of Europe and beyond. And in the second case the video accompanying a song representing a country plays a huge role. It’s nice to present your country and its daily life, but when elements strongly reminiscent of Indo-Arab Turkish-Gyphto-Pakistani culture prevail, with an almost complete lack of ancient Greek culture, which is the main reason for tourist attendance and the glamor of our country, well, I don’t like that.
The song is nice, I don’t deny it, even though it’s ethnic elements, but if you tie it with a souvlaki, with a coffee shop, reminding of India and Pakistan, together with Turkey and Afghanistan, no, thank you, but I won’t take it, we belong to Europe and we have unique story. The only good European moment is Marina’s few-second shot, wearing a Chopova Lowena skirt that admittedly suited her very well. Showing the Acropolis on scaffolding, with tourists laden with all kinds of backpacks and the lid of a kebab shop that caught fire, with Greeks eating in a tavern and spitting olive pits, with taxis in the filth of Omonia, and dancing on the stage Herodion and the Andrian Gate, holding a blue flag” that I don’t know what the poet wants to tell us, with a “stupid” tourist trying to fit in the kitsch environment, with pork skewers being grilled, tzatziki and hungry cats, and in between to be thrown the Pericles of the Golden Age, who is horrified by the suffering with the mess he sees, takes the 1st prize for caricaturist.
If this is Greece, I’m sorry I don’t want to know it, I want to visit it, I don’t want to live here. It is lost and the meaning of the song has nothing to do with love and her dice. It goes without saying that I have never seen a worse video in my life. This is not Greece, it is Tsiknopempti in all its glory… My advice is for Marina to appear modestly on stage and let her wonderful voice be the star without a lot of kitsch dancing and above all without grills, tzatziki and tsikna to accompany the scenery. I don’t know who thought of making this video, it was a very bad idea, it’s almost scary… As for whether it’s stolen “ta ta ta ta”, I hear it shame and shame on those who consider it their copyright, mercy that is.
PS My advice. CHANGE THE VIDEO INSTANTLY.”
