A new cd by Eleni Peta was recently released titled "Stile Sima" (send signal). It contains 12 melodic songs that carry you away in the attitude they have and in the atmosphere they create. Songs that will make you sing alone even from the first time you listen to them (as long as you know Greek). For this recording the following people gave their best effort: Mirto Kontova, Eleana Brachali, George Ginis, Marina Dimitroula, George Bousounis, Thodoris Oikonomou, Kitrina Podilata (Yellow Bicycles), Giannis Christodoulopoulos, Kostas Katomeris. The producer of "Send signal" album is Panos Barlos. On HotStation we alrady listen almost daily the song "Valto sta Podia" (Runaway). The music was written by French composer Asdorve especially for Eleni.
Eleni Peta always tries new sounds and styles that broad up her music repository and bring up in every time in a different way her wide vocal abilities. She knows exactly how to express its song's emotion and feeling and she finally amaze us every time with her performance, her talent and her passion.
