The message of ‘Asteromatas’

The song of Claudia, “Star”, in composition and lyrics of Arcade And of itself, it tells a story of the separation and search for light, inspired by the course of Pontian Hellenism and the Pontian genocide. The 22 -year -old performer is personally linked to the subject, as her family is of Pontian descent.

The title refers to a traditional characterization used in Smyrna for women with bright, impressive eyes. The word star symbolizes these forms, while the song also includes the Turkish word cevher (Jever), which means jewelry or gemstone – the Greek corresponding “gaivari”, which expresses love and appreciation for a person or something invaluable.

As Claudia itself has stated, the idea for the song came from the need to connect to its roots:

“We wanted to create a song I identify with and express me. She talks about uprooting and refugees, experiences that Greece knows well, both through its own history and through today’s refugee flows. My family were refugees. My grandmother, Grandma Claudia, has told me how they left Pontus, went to the Soviet Union and returned to Greece in 1991 to start from the beginning. “
