Espressonews.gr: "Τουρνέ στις ΗΠΑ για την Ελλη!"
Promo-trip στην Αμερική ένα μήνα πριν από τη μεγάλη περιοδεία της. Η Ελλη Κοκκίνου ταξίδεψε σε Νέα Υόρκη και Σικάγο και συγκινήθηκε με τη θερμή υποδοχή που της επιφύλαξαν οι Ελληνες ομογενείς. Από το πλευρό της γνωστής τραγουδίστριας δεν έλειψαν καθόλου οι άνθρωποι που έχουν αναλάβει την τουρνέ της πέραν του Ατλαντικού, Στιβ Λιβαδίτης και Τζιμ Παναγιώτου, οι οποίοι είχαν φροντίσει στην εντέλεια ακόμη και την παραμικρή λεπτομέρεια. Τις δύο εβδομάδες που έμεινε η Ελλη Κοκκίνου στην Αμερική επισκέφθηκε αξιοθέατα, έδωσε συνεντεύξεις, παρευρέθηκε σε δύο πάρτι και είδε την Καλομοίρα, αλλά και φίλους της που είχε να συναντήσει πολλά χρόνια - θυμίζουμε πως η τραγουδίστρια σπούδασε στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες. Το καλύτερο πάντως ήταν οι φαν της που της έδειξαν με θερμό τρόπο την αγάπη τους. Τώρα περιμένουν πώς και πώς τις live εμφανίσεις της τραγουδίστριας τον Οκτώβριο.
Espressonews.gr knows what they are talking about. The above article discusses Elli's promo-tour trip a month before her North American 2009 Tour. While travelling to New York and Chicago, Elli really was moved by her welcoming fans of the Greek community. Kokkinou was impressed by our very own Steve Livaditis, Peter Quintas of Portokalada.com and of course, Jimmy Panagioutou (Jimbabway)--"they took care of everything in the smallest detail". Elli Kokkinou had a blast attending the array of interviews and parties set-up for her and her fans to enjoy, we all await her tour in North America come October 9th, 2009.
Portokalada.com congratulates Elli Kokkinou on being the first Greek artist to experiment with a promotional tour here in America, her pioneering effort will start a trend in the Greek-American music industry.

Is Tamta UNDERATED?-- I lv Tamta!
'Tornero Tromero', 'Agapise Me ', 'Ela Sto Rythmo', 'Agapo ', 'Koita Me', just to name a few of Tamta's catchy, upbeat-summer hits. Read below for Tamta's latest summer plans, or visit yupi.gr >> Tamta.
Το φετινό καλοκαίρι για την Τάμτα ήταν γεμάτο από συναυλίες σε όλη την Ελλάδα. Βρήκε, όμως, το χρόνο να κάνει ξέγνοιαστες διακοπές σε νησιά — και δεν ήταν μόνη.
Η Τάμτα κατάφερε να ξεκλέψει λίγες μέρες και να χαλαρώσει στα ελληνικά νησιά. Επέλεξε να περάσει μία εβδομάδα στη Λευκάδα ενώ επισκέφτηκε και τη Ρόδο για τις διακοπές της μαζί με τον αγαπημένο της Γρηγόρη Πετράκο. Οι δυο τους παρακολούθησαν και τη συναυλία του Σάκη Ρουβά, με το σταρ να την ανεβάζει στη σκηνή για να τραγουδήσει την επιτυχία της «Αγάπησέ με». Η κόρη της, όσο η Τάμτα έκανε συναυλίες σε όλη την Ελλάδα, βρισκόταν μαζί με τη γιαγιά της.
Οι στάσεις της περιοδείας της, που ξεκίνησε στις 5 Ιουνίου και αναμένεται να ολοκληρωθεί στις 18 Σεπτεμβρίου, περιελάμβαναν τις πόλεις: Κεφαλονιά, Λευκάδα, Ναύπλιο, Ρόδο, Αθήνα, Πάτρα, Θεσσαλονίκη, Σάμο, Αίγινα, Κάρπαθο, Ηράκλειο και Αλεξανδρούπολη. Είτε στο πλαίσιο του Amita Motion Tour μαζί με άλλους καλλιτέχνες, είτε μόνη της, η Τάμτα κατάφερε να κάνει κάθε εμφάνισή της να μοιάζει ξεχωριστή. Μαζί με το συγκρότημα Cabin 54, το οποίο πέρσι πλαισίωνε τον Σάκη Ρουβά στο νυχτερινό κέντρο Starz, παρουσίασε ένα μουσικό πρόγραμμα γεμάτο επιτυχίες της νεαρής ποπ σταρ αλλά και αγαπημένα ξένα κομμάτια.
Τα επόμενα επαγγελματικά σχέδια της ποπ σταρ περιλαμβάνουν εμφανίσεις μαζί με τον Γιώργο Μαζωνάκη, τον Ησαΐα Ματιάμπα και την Κέλλυ Καλτσή στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Το σχήμα θα κάνει πρεμιέρα στο Politeia Live Clubbing στις 18 Σεπτεμβρίου. Η Τάμτα ακόμη δεν έχει καταλήξει πού θα εμφανιστεί το χειμώνα ενώ το νέο της CD αναμένεται να κυκλοφορήσει μέσα στο φθινόπωρο του 2009.
