/0 Comments/in , /by

With a relevant trailer, RIK informs us about everything we already know. The song that will represent Cyprus in Eurovision 2022, as well as the artist and the composition team of the participation, will be announced on Wednesday, March 9.

As we have already informed you, the song will be released on Wednesday, March 9, through the show of RIK Ola Ston Aera. What impresses us, admittedly, is what is mentioned on OGAE Greece, for the further release of the song on the various platforms. According to what OGAE Greece broadcasts, the song will be broadcast for the first time on Wednesday at 15.30 cet, through RIK’s show, Ola Ston Aera. It will then be uploaded to Panik’s website and social media on March 10 and released on March 11 on all music platforms.

Practically, the above means, if it is valid, that on Wednesday, March 9, the only way to hear the Cypriot participation is through the RIK show, since the song will be available on music platforms after two days. Of course, it remains to be seen if this will indeed be the time sequence:

  • 9/3: Announcement from All In the Air – RIK1 (16.30)
  • 10/3: PANIK website
  • 11/3: Other music platforms

As we have already informed you, the recording of the song took place a few days ago in Athens, where Andromachi, who will represent Cyprus, entered the studio and completed the recording of the song.

The songwriter Alex Papaconstantinou was also there. The song of Cyprus has strong ethic elements, which as lifeNewscy knows, will be enriched with bouzouki, to have a more “Greek” sound! The lyrics are signed by George Papadopoulos, while the word “Ela” dominates.

The shooting for the video clip of the song took place on Saturday, March 5.

So make an appointment on Wednesday, March 9 for the announcement of the Cypriot participation in Eurovision 2022!

Cyprus: Is Giorgos Papadopoulos involved with the Cypriot entry?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Sunday 13 March, all countries that haven’t announced an artist and song for Eurovision 2022 will have to do so. Among them is Cyprus, which play their cards close to their chest this year, waiting until the last moment to make the official announcement.

What do we know as of now?

Although nothing has been officially announced by the Cypriot broadcaster, RIK, what appears to happen thus far are the following:

  • The country will be represented by Andromachi from PANIK Records.
  • The song is signed by Alex P and his team.
  • According to what Andromachi has stated lately, it is a song with a mix of traditional and modern sound.
  • The song might have some Greek lyrics.
  • The artistic director for the second consecutive year will be Austrian-born Marvin Dietmann.

Is George Papadopoulos a part of the Cypriot team?

Based on some of our latest information, RIK will announce that the well-known Cypriot singer-songwriter Giorgos Papadopoulos is included in the composing of the Cypriot entry.

The participation of Giorgos Papadopoulos in the whole project, comes to confirm everything that RIK said in the previous months, that in this year’s Eurovision, there will be a strong Cypriot colour.

We remind you that two years ago, in an exclusive statements by the artist’s manager to Eurovisionfun, it was mentioned that Giorgos Papadopoulos was against representing his country as a performer, but not as a composer or a lyricist.

Right now, I think he wouldn’t want to be the performer, but he would certainly want to be the lyricist and the composer of the Cypriot entry.

We are anxiously awaiting for the official announcements of RIK for this year’s Cypriot participation! Cyprus will compete in the first half of the second semi-final of Eurovision 2022, hoping for its seventh consecutive qualification to the final.

Cyprus: Fatjon Miftari producer of the Eurovision entry?

While RIK continues to keep its papers closed for Eurovision 2022, a story posted by Alex P on his profile, perhaps betrays the fact that Fatjon Miftari, a well-known Albanian producer, is working with Alex P for the Cypriot participation in this year’s competition.

We know little about this year’s Cypriot participation. Everything shows that Andromachi from PANIK Records, will represent Cyprus in Turin, with a song composed by Alex P. It seems that the group is completed by Nikos Giouletzis, a well-known musician in Greece with many important collaborations, but also Fatjon Miftari music producer from Albania. His latest release was Lajkat by Angela Peristeri, last year’s Albania’s representative at the Eurovision Song Contest.

RIK is expected to announce both the name of the artist and the song at the end of the deadline set by the EBU to the participating countries of Eurovision 2022, ie shortly before Sunday, March 13.

Cyprus: Andromachi To Represent the Nation at Eurovision 2022?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Greek singer Andromachi is rumored to have been chosen as the nation’s representative for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

Lately, the scenarios for the successor of Elena Tsagrinou, are on fire, as more and more names were on the table for the representation of the island in this year’s Eurovision, but it seems that the final decision has been made.

In contrast to other years, RIK has been late in announcing the artist who will represent it at the upcoming Eurovision, as it was first looking for the right song and later the singer, who will perform it.

According to the Cypriot radio show “Good Morning Show”, the name of the singer that will represent Cyprus ends with “machi”. This information comes after the denial of the rumor that appointed Ivi Adamou as Cyprus’ representative. CyBC has yet to state when an announcement will be made regarding the nations entry.

Specifically, the journalist stated that the song is ready and the signatures have fallen. According to him, the representative of the island of Aphrodite, for this year will be Andromachi Dimitropoulou.

See the full report in the video below:

This year, Marvin Dietmann and Dan Shipton will be the artistic team behind the Cypriot participation for Eurovision 2022.

Who is Andromachi?

Andromachi Dimitropoulou, simply known as Andromachi, was born in 1994 in Manheim, Germany. She rose to fame in 2015, when she participated in the Greek version of The Voice. Even if she just made it to the live shows, she immediately became a huge star in Greece. Among her singles, the most remarkable ones are “Na Soun Psema”.
