I
saw you from afar
Walking towards my heart You told me a few words While our eyes met Walking towards my
heart REF: I’m calling,
you’re calling Until the night approaches REF: I’m calling,
you’re calling |

of the most interesting acts in Malta today are the sister-duo CHARLENE
and NATASHA GRIMA. They are establishing themselves as one of the best Maltese
acts for the last music year 2001/2. They started the year 2002 off quite on a positive note, ranking third in the "People's Ode Song Contest" held in Malta earlier this year. They performed the song "Gieghltni Ntir" ('You made me fly') lyrics by the older of the two Natasha to the music composed by the younger, Charlene. Both Natasha and Charlene are in their early twenties, and both have participated in the local Song for Europe previously. In September they took part in the "Malta Independence Song Contest 2002" with two entries. Both "Nirien" (Fires) and "Sejjahtli, Sejjahtlek" (Calls) were composed by Charlene to lyrics by Deo Grech. Charlene & Natasha were considered as the best acts of the night for their fully-choreographed performance thanks to their personal choreographer Keith-Carl Grima. Soon "Sejjahtli, Sejjahtlek" turned into a radio-hit on local radio stations and tipped by local music critics to be one of the best songs in Maltese for the past year. The team behind the latest successes joined forces again and created "Xita fid-Dezert" (music: Charlene Grima; lyrics: Deo Grech). This entry was one of the 12 entries which qualified to the finals of the Malta International Song Contest 2002, held on 26th October at the MCC, Valletta and it achieved the 5th place in a very close race with the top-5 songs swapping places after every members of the jury vote. Their third project, entitled "Xita fid-Dezert" (Desert Rain) was the first Maltese entry for the Online Song Contest and it ranked 7th out of 23 entries. Charlene & Natasha made it to this years finals of the Malta Song for Europe 2003 with two entries. One penned by Charlene & Deo Grech, "Rain of Fire" and the other one penned by Philip Vella and Gerard James Borg, "Superstitious". The latter ended 5th in the final classification, while "Rain of Fire" will represent the Maltese Eurovision Club, O.G.A.E. MALTA, in the O.G.A.E. International's Second Chance Contest 2003. Charlene & Natasha are also performing
on a weekly basis at the Dragonara Casino’ - Paceville. |
