This is the new single album of the singer/songwriter Maria Voulgari with the Portuguese singer Rita Dias.

Acclaimed singer/songwriter Maria Voulgari, with recognized successes in Greece and abroad, known for the distinctive timbre of her voice and her unique musical compositions that combine elements of the Greek and international music scene, continues to surprise us with a new musical proposition that is certainly promising. Her new single album, entitled “An borousa/Se eu pudesse”, is released, and it brings to the fore an interesting collaboration with the talented Portuguese singer Rita Dias.

The two artists join their talents and create an original sound integrating the musical cultures of Greece and Portugal, in a wonderful way. They transport the audience to an emotional, nostalgic atmosphere, highlighting the extent of the musical-emotional dialogue through the union of the Greek and Portuguese languages. Full of deep interiority and lyricism, Voulgari’s lyrics invite us to explore the invisible lines that connect dreams and desires. The airy, sensitive and atmospheric melody strongly highlights the emotional charge of the lyrics.

Excerpt of song lyrics:

Just for a while if I could touch your thought.
Just for a while if I could enter your gaze.
I think I love what I lost before I lived,
and what I chase makes me silent.

“An borousa/Se eu pudesse” is the first of a series of musical compositions that highlight Maria Voulgari’s collaboration with artists internationally.

The participation of Rita Dias, with her special interpretation, gives the singer the possibility to highlight the uniqueness of the song from her side, while the bilingual element highlights the universality of the emotion expressed through art.

Maria Voulgari, who signs both the music and the lyrics of the song, once again manages to put her personal stamp in an intelligent way both musically-lyrically and interpretively.

The arrangement of the song is signed by Dimitris Papangelidis, an exceptional Greek and international guitarist and composer.

The single is released digitally by Music Mirror and is available for streaming on all platforms, such as Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, YouTube, etc.

The collaboration of these two distinct artists from different musical backgrounds heralds a new, exciting musical proposition that brings to the fore the power of collaboration and mutual inspiration.

Surely this authentic Greek-Portuguese musical collaboration will be one that will be talked about for a long time.

Comment by Maria Voulgari:

“Rita Dias and I connected immediately, as we both share the same love for music. “An borousa/Se eu pudesse” is a personal confession, and I believe that Rita, with her interpretation, gave to my song exactly what I was looking for: the warmth and optimistic melancholy of Portuguese musicality that I personally love very much.”

Comment by Rita Dias:

“Working with Maria was a wonderful experience. It was as if we integrated two worlds, Greece and Portugal, and created something truly unique. I connected directly with the soul of the song, and I hope this song touches the listeners just like it touched me.”
