This Greek siren made a big splash on dance radio and the clubs all over the world with her song "Gia."
The first time I heard this song on the radio, in its English version, I thought it sounded a little like Shakira. But then as it went on, it sounded more Arabic and Middle Eastern. Since the station I heard it one was actually stunting at the time, no one was really there so I had to wait until they would play it again, and like clockwork, it was played the following hour! I recorded it and listened to it several times.
Then I did a little search and found out it was in Greek and Despina was the artist behind it.
This is just a fun little track that you just can't help but dance to.
Her full album, of the same name, is quite lovely too. The U.S. version of the album had English songs on it and was called Come Along Now.
Little did I know that this song would be my "gateway" song into Greek music!

I didn't like this one much, but I agree that Despina Vandi was also my "gatweay" into mainstream Greek music.

Love this. WKTU use to play this around 2004 as well as "Opa Opa" which I also like.

I need to get back at this. It's been awhile.
