On last Friday evening Despina had her premiere in the nightly center of Thessaloniki at the “Politeia Live Clubbing”. Including her husband Demis Nikolaidis and her 2 children, she had a full front row on the first show. A relaxed Despina arrived almost three hours earlier in order to speak with her musicians and get prepared. Without any stress, the musicians passed on her dressing-room so all together could say their prayers and wish everyone a good beginning of their new program.

As the show starts, you can hear the sound of heels and immediately after it, the LED screen opens in the middle. You can distinguish the figure of Despina while the first notes of her summer hit “Υπάρχει Ζωή” rouses the world. The program is continued with alternations of songs.

Something interesting happened on this premiere; a wedding proposal. A man named Ilias asked Despina to help him propose to his girl. He had previously given Despina the ring so the Greek start went down to Natasa’s table and said: “A groom came to me and asked for help to propose a marriage. Natasa do you accept the proposal of Ilia?” The answer was obviously a “yes” and the public applauded with enthusiasm.

A little latter Despina received on stage the presence of Goin’ Through and also others. At the end of the show it was clear the satisfaction of everyone. Finally, Despina accomplished she makes what said so much months: A pop/rock program that would not classically remind in no case bouzouki.

Up until Christmas Despina will pass the weekends in Thessalonica and days in Athens with her family. In the feasts, however, they will be found familiarly in Thessalonica in order to celebrate all together.

I added a couple of pictures to our gallery, go check them out!
