The delicious voice of Marina
Deligianni on this A World in London!

| Spyros Katsaros |
Marina Deligianni sings a tribute set to Marinella, the iconic Greek
chanteuse that has recorded sixty-six solo albums. This week on AWIL,
we feasted on some of these songs and also played a Game of Threes
with Marina and her trio mates, Dimitris Gionis and Spyros Katsaros.
All three artists were locked in spellbinding brilliance between
bouzouki, piano, and vocals, that we could have happily listened to
forever. It was a family affair in every sense as Marina’s dear
mama & papa tuned in from Athens to our studio near London
Bridge, linking two great cities, and her proud parents with her
musician siblings, through the gift of her gorgeous voice. But then
Marina’s voice has the power to unite a universe with its rich
exquisite tones and expressive depths, plus her skilful, passionate,
pitch-perfect delivery, across vast emotional and genre range. When
she covers popular numbers they sound extra-special and unique, part
of Marina’s completely eclectic repertoire, encompassing everything
from Mariah Carey ballads to Salsa. The songs closest to heart though
are classic & contemporary Greek, and she is one of the key
instigators of the unmissable Rebetiko Carnival festival - together
with other members of her talented extended family like Pavlos
Carvalho - which returns in June 2020. Of Marinella, Marina says
‘nobody sings quite like her’, but we say, nobody sings quite as
beautifully as Marina Deligianni.
