A childhood under conditions of extreme poverty; an early marriage at the age of 14; hard manual labour in the factories of Piraeus; a series of hits in the 1970s that turned her into a folk song icon; famous admirers that include politicians, actors and shipping tycoons; adaptation to the pop-folk ‘slogan’ song of the 1980s; the story of Rita Sakellariou has it all! Above all, it has powerful laiko anthems, recorded by a voice that marked an entire era of social transition and aesthetic confusion.
