Born in Piraeus, Eleftheria Arvanitaki is to many an iconic Greek musician. She began her career in the 1980s by interpreting the great tradition of popular songs with the Opisthodromiki Kompania band, with which she began her career. Quickly, her deep and delicate timbre and rich musicality, at once sensual and light, her tender and deep expressiveness, softness and finesse make her a reference in Hellenic poetry and song, which she mixes with the influences of jazz and variety. In August 2004, she participates in the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics. Eleftheria has worked with great artists such as Javier Limón and Buika, Cesaria Evora and Dulce Pontes and Philip Glass.
