A Greek singer who recorded over 300 albums, from nightclubs to international stages.
For a sense of her range, try 'À La Claire Fontaine' or 'Alfonsina y El Mar'. They frame her plainspoken, enduring appeal.
She sang in Greek when it wasn't widely heard outside Greece, and kept at it for decades. Songs like 'Only Love' and 'Chanter La Vie' became familiar to listeners in many countries. Working with arrangers like Quincy Jones and Arif Mardin, she brought Greek folk and pop ballads to a global audience.
She started in Greek nightclubs and cabarets in the 1950s, drawing from Greek folk and international jazz. Her debut album 'Nana Mouskouri Sings' came out in the 1960s, and she performed on television and in concert halls internationally for decades. In 1984 she became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
