Marina Satti (GR)
Friday 29 July / 22:30 / Field Stage / #Fengaros2022
Five years after the sweeping success of her single “Mantissa”, Marina Satti yet again conquered the top of the YouTube charts with her new song “PALI”. Audiences were quick to welcome her follow-up single “PONOS KRIFOS”, premiered by COLORS - a first for a Greek artist - with the very same enthusiasm before Satti grabbed yet another feat as the first-ever Greek artist to premiere on NOWNESS with her video clip for the traditional track “YIATI POULI M’”. This was just the beginning before Satti released her much-anticipated debut album, "YENNA".
The artist showcases a one-of-a-kind musical display, deeply influenced by traditional roots and intricately combined into a contemporary sensibility. Marina Satti is driven to declare the here and now, creating a musical assemblage that forefronts a musical solidarity and welcomes people from every corner of the earth to join in. For Marina, music has no borders; it’s a universal timeless language, with the power to unite people of all backgrounds and generations.
Marina Satti is not easily classified artistically: from the opera house to community festivals in the highlands of Crete, the artist simultaneously aligns with ethnic and pop affinities, in as much as she fits within classical, urban and folk spaces. On stage, her unique aesthetics, polyphonic alchemies and unexpected orchestrations are accompanied by a powerhouse band to manifest a present-day musical festivity with songs from across the globe and to take audiences through the ultimate musical experience. Songs from Greece, the Balkans, and Eastern Mediterranean centred on the sounds of tradition are transfigured to the present-day. Bagpipes and beats. Hand drums and synchronous, processed vocals. A multifaceted, lively adventure. A feast of sounds; an exceptional meeting where the modern meets the traditional and all find the space to co-exist and be expressed through the most direct language: music. A modern celebration full of emotions: rich, sincere, spectacular with bright colours and strong senses.
