Once again, Alkistis Protopsalti took the reins of the musical scene in Athens, as her winter performance titled ‘LIVE CONNECTION’ was marked as a must-see event! The timeless artist broke all expectations once more, even for her most demanding fans! She is a rock band by herself, full of spirit and energy, which she transmits from the first to the last minute. The reviews accompanying her appearance were glowing: Alkistis......bangs! Dionysis Christopoulos - Musicity.gr "Whatever one might say about Alkistis Protopsalti will always fall short of the lived experience. Because her live performances remain unique. An unforgettable moment of connection for her, her music, and her devoted followers – if not fans – who hang on her every word and move with her explosive gestures. So many 'Applause' for Alkistis and her well-studied career over the past decades. Yes, Alkistis Protopsalti connects directly with her audience and infuses them with her passion and unparalleled energy because, as she smilingly paraphrases, 'This love lasts forever!'" Alkistis Protopsalti: Excellence in Interpretation Giorgos Myzalis - Ogdoo.gr "In direct connection with the heart, in direct connection with the mind, in direct connection with our fellow humans, in direct connection with our (musical and non) memories. A program 'ace' that 'brings you down' and 'hits you' from the start." Timeless Surprise Maria Avramidou - Musiccorner.gr "The personal revelation I received from this performance is that Alkistis combines all elements of nature in her interpretations. She is earth, as she stands on it and draws strength and stability from it. She is a wave, an ocean of emotions and positive energy. She is a flame, capable of touching every heart with her warmth and passion. And she is a cool breeze, knowing how to soothe souls – something that becomes more evident than ever in the exceptional acoustic part of the program." In Alkistis (or breaking the paradox of the fan) Giannis Tsoumalis - worldsattic.com "In this two-hour experience, I saw the red velvet of jazz soaked with Mediterranean salt, I saw my lonely wagon finding tracks on five-line journeys and a steaming soul snack accompanied by three guitars in a collective and individual sharpness that is precious. I smelled my fire burning in an ecstasy that needed no raised hands or wine. How much I was missing!" In Direct Connection with Her Audience Giota Sykkas – Kathimerini "In a time that constricts us not only financially but also emotionally, leaving Gazarte, you feel that with her performance 'Live Connection', Protopsalti has lost none of that warmth from past decades. In two and a half hours, she revisited her repertoire as well as songs by others, with unpredictable yet never ostentatious orchestrations, playing not only with folk but also with bossa nova, mambo, swing, and even disco. With the talent of a group of young musicians who seem to enjoy it as much as she does. Liberated and relaxed like never before, she danced, played drums and guitar, descended from the stage to the square, and climbed to the balconies. A professional musician who honors her art and equally honors the audience that accompanies her, she made real what moves her: song needs a stage to wear out and bodies to live it."
