Excited Eleni Hatzidou aired on Breakfast@Star on Thursday morning, presenting her new duet with her father, Triantafillos Hatzidis, entitled Listen to Father.
“My daddy sings. He’s a rebet, he’s a singer so from the old days. He had a chance at one point to move forward with his career… We never knew where he would have gone, but he had a proposal from a great singer of the time. He had met my mom, he had gotten married, so he didn’t…he’s not saying, “I’m going to dedicate myself to my family, I’m going to do this.” And she left that behind a little bit,” Eleni Hadjidou said.
Then Eteoclis Pavlou took the floor and said: “Let me say something. Because the truth is that we dads are a little underprivileged. We’re a little bit wronged and it’s very beautiful what you’ve built and what you’ve done. And can I tell you something? I would be very happy and I would be very proud… if Melita, after some years, dedicated a song like that to me. And I’ll tell you something you didn’t know, because I was there. There was a moment where Helen was in, and I was with my father-in-law and I was a little bit closer… It’s the first time I saw my father-in-law almost kneeling. The man broke. He broke down with emotion, he was in tears and sobbing.”
“We were very emotional, and in the studio… My dad, crying, crying, evil there in the studio where you see us now… because it’s the moment we were already recording, I’m really saying it, which is the same moment. We couldn’t hold back the tears, we had a very hard time writing it,” Eleni Hatzidou revealed.
