Eleftheria Arvanitaki.

"There is no doubt about it, the hot name internationally on the Greek music scene is Eleftheria Arvanitaki. Her voice has a clarity and emotional depth that registers whether or not you understand the words, and the music she sings has a lyricism and instrumental sophistication that sets it apart. Her performances at WOMAD festivals in 1998 marked a transition from performing to Greek communities round the world to a new audience of World Music fans. They weren't disappointed" (Simon Broughton, Editor of World Music Rough Guide, 1999).

Eleftheria started her career in the early 80s as the singer of a popular group of rembetika revivalists, named Opisthodromiki Kompania.
