Undoubtedly, Stelios Kazantzidis and Sotiria Bellou became famous thanks to their contribution to folk, popular song. However, it is interesting to note that art-song composers also entrusted them with their creations; from Mikis Theodorakis to Elias Andriopoulos and from Manos Hadjidakis to Dionysis Savvopoulos, there is a long list of post-“laiko” artists who found in Sotiria and Stelios their ideal voices. This shows that both vocalists incorporated various dimensions in their interpretations and were capable of conveying a variety of emotions and meanings.
