One of the most promising and gifted young voices in contemporary Greek laiko music, Metaxia Kontou, was the guest of Voice of Greece in this evening’s edition of “Voices and Music.”
Listeners had the opportunity to enjoy her warm and expressive voice and learn more about her dynamic return to the recording scene with her brand-new single, featuring music and lyrics by acclaimed singer-songwriter Dimitris Giotis.
In a candid and engaging conversation with Alexis Kostas, Metaxia Kontou reflected on her artistic journey from its very beginning, revealing that laiko music is far more than a career choice for her—it is the musical genre that truly expresses who she is and resonates with every aspect of her soul.
The interview took on an especially moving dimension when she spoke about her family roots, revealing that half of her heritage comes from Australia. This dual identity has given her a deep understanding of the nostalgia, emotions, and experiences of Greeks living abroad.
For members of the Greek diaspora, Metaxia’s voice served as a symbolic bridge back to their homeland and cultural roots. Looking ahead, she also shared her plans for the summer, including live performances and new creative projects. The result was an inspiring and heartfelt radio program filled with authenticity, warmth, and genuine Greek spirit.
