Ellie Kokinou: “I was afraid they’d kill me on stage”

‘ He told me the blood on the white suit is writing perfectly. There were snipers everywhere,” she revealed. For the concert she gave with Sakis Rouvas on the Green Line in Nicosia in 1997, at the beginning of her first steps in the music scene, she spoke for the first time Ellie Kokinou who was found invited to the “Geriatric” of Elias Psinakis. The popular singer told in detail her shocking experience in Nicosia, revealing that she was even afraid of being killed on stage. “We went to Nicosia on the private jet, we didn’t even go through control. I… I didn’t know where I was going, that’s where we realized what was going on. Our orchestra didn’t agree to come, we played with the Turkish. When we landed, we saw the four armored jeeps waiting for us and there we captured the size,” said Ellie Kokinou. “They put us in, each in a different car, so they wouldn’t know where the target is. I was in shock. Next to me and in front of me were guys with automatic hands. I was saying “Where did I come?” I wanted to go back. They took us to a large room with the Green Line model, that’s where we were scared,” he filled out. “After a few hours the concert began. The landscape was very wild but we couldn’t back off. He had very moving moments that no one ever made known, so he also took a negative hint. I had taken a dress to do my vocals to Sakis, a white suit. Elias (Psinakis) told me that I should go out and preface the concert, he tells me “the blood on the white suit writes perfectly”. There were snipers everywhere,” she said of the grand concert trying to preserve her humor. See the quote at 26:26: “Right after the concert, we took a tour of Greece. In Corfu I remember going to live with the jeep that had rented us, opened the window to talk to the gatekeeper and had some eggs. They pop the eggs in, then I smelled egg, and Sakis (Ruvas) teased me. Until he ate it too. And we had some tomatoes but generally had a good time with each other,” Ellie Kokinou said.
