With a blend of jazz, Latin, and elements of electronic and traditional music, Christina Psyha will present her new project titled “Nenemo.” A performance with an atmosphere that balances the nostalgia of the past with the energy of contemporary sound. In this unique performance, Christina Psyha and her collaborators will present original Greek-language songs and musical adaptations (by Kostas Karyotakis, Tasos Leivaditis, and Fernando Pessoa), which are included on her two albums. Their creative program is complemented by arrangements of classic and beloved songs from various countries around the world, creating a performance characterized by intense dance, lyricism, and improvisation.
