Cleopatra Stratan

Prezentare

O minune de copil! Asa o putem contura în câteva cuvinte pe micuta artista Cleopatra Stratan. Un copil mult dorit de parintii sai, Pavel si Rodica Stratan. Un copil îndragit de toti copiii care, înmarmuriti sau cu mare admiratie, o asculta pe Cleo interpretând cu har zeci de melodii: de la "Ghita" la "Noapte buna", de la "Mama" la "Zuzu-zuzu" sau "Pasarea pistruie", de la "Refrenul dulcilor povesti" la "Zunea zunea".

Pasiunea pe care micuta Cleopatra o pune în cântec porneste din adâncul sufletului ei, iar faptul ca stie sa daruiasca bucurie în inimile tuturor celor care o asculta, indiferent de "granitele" vârstei, certifica înca o data faptul ca nu este un copil oarecare, ci unul minune!

Pentru Pavel Stratan, copilaria va ramâne întotdeauna pe primul plan, fiind cea mai dulce dintre toate vârstele omului. Când vine vorba despre micuta Cleo, cuvintele parca sunt prea putine pentru a descrie tot ce înseamna Cleo pentru tatal ei. "Cel mai mult ma straduiesc sa se maturizeze o data cu vârsta ei, nu prematur! Sa se bucure de ceea ce are si sa fie atenta la ce ar putea sa aiba, pentru ca s-ar putea sa se împlineasca. De fapt, la ea, aproape totu-i posibil. De asta sunt foarte atent eu!"

I normally don't like the idea of child stars - making children into national (or international) sensations is exploitative and has a somewhat undetermined effect on their psychology. But there is a difference between the typical Western child star and the new Romanian underage heart-breaker.

Cleopatra Stratan, the 3 year old who has hit the Romanian music charts big, seems to have become famous because her childlike singing and childlike charms are something different . . . she has not been made into a miniature adult, given the wardrobe of a sex symbol, or been thrust into the latest gore-ridden horror flick. In Eastern Europe, children are still children and generally must be protected as such; Cleopatra's father has refused monetary offers to market her. With her oversized suitcase, pink plastic sunglasses, and disheveled pigtails, Cleopatra is singing an innocuous song about a missing person named Ghita, who could be her big brother, uncle, or friend - no innuendos here. Even though it's obvious her voice has been engineered to a certain extent, she's still adorable.
