Well, I'll say it, even if some people start saying we don't support Greek participation and other nonsense, the song is
unacceptable
tragic

I could be wrong, but perhaps one of the goals of the video was to poke fun at the stereotypes foreigners have about us (sun, gyros, feta, tzatziki, headdress, Parthenon) while showing off modern Greece. genius #eurvisionGR pic.twitter.com/seR2Ec9WVs

Sati: The piece has different qualities and different worlds, which you can bring to the stage as well
Marina Satti was on the set of the program to talk about preparations for the Greek participation, two months before the competition.
Speaking at the show, the young singer initially explained that around 200 songs had been submitted to ERT as proposals for this year's Eurovision contest. As she said, she didn't choose any of them and her collaborators, but she was influenced by all of them, both in melody and lyrics.
βThe piece has different qualities and different worlds, which you can also display on stage,β he said characteristically. The music for the song “ZARI” was composed by Marina Satti, OGE, KP, Nick Kodonas, Jay Stolar, Gino The Ghost and Jordan Palmer, while the lyrics are signed by VLOSPA, OGE, Marina Satti and Solmeister. The video clip was directed by Australian Zack Weasel.
Along with Marina Satti, the guest of the show was Fokas Evangelinos, who curated the entries that wrote her own Eurovision history.
The choreography is by Majnun Gesar (Majnun), while the art direction is by NMR. Marina Satie will be accompanied by four dancers as she performs on the MalmΓΆ Arena stage.
