“Voices and Music” welcomed acclaimed Greek popular singer Anatoli Margiola to the studio for a wide-ranging and deeply moving conversation.
Margiola looked back on her childhood in Kavala, her musical roots in Ioannina and Pontus, and her studies in traditional singing at the Department of Folk and Traditional Music in Arta. She also recalled the pivotal moment when she met bouzouki virtuoso Manolis Pappos.
She spoke about getting her start in Athens, her landmark collaboration with Vangelis Korakakis on the album Chomatodromos, her work with Evanthia Reboutsika on the films Cloudy Sunday and Mythopathy, and her performances alongside Foteini Velesiotou.
Margiola also discussed her first solo album, Kokkini Klosti, with Dimitris Sintos, her latest album, Ta Arrita, with music by Antonis Askitopoulos, and the major European rebetiko tour she joined alongside George Dalaras. She sent her warmest wishes to Greeks around the world.
