Ioanna " Nana " Mouskouri ( Greek : Ιωάννα "Νάνα" Μούσχουρη [i.oˈana ˈnana ˈmusxuri] ) (born 13 October 1934) is a Greek singer. Over the span of her career, she has released over 200 albums in at least twelve languages, including Greek , French , English , German , Dutch , Italian , Portuguese , Spanish , Hebrew , Welsh , Mandarin Chinese and Corsican . [1]

Mouskouri became well known throughout Europe for the song "The White Rose of Athens", recorded first in German as "Weiße Rosen aus Athen" as an adaptation of her Greek song " Σαν σφυρίξεις τρείς φορές " ( San sfyríxeis tris forés , "When you whistle three times"). It became her first record to sell over one million copies. [2]

Later in 1963, she represented Luxembourg at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song " À force de prier ". Her friendship with the composer Michel Legrand led to the recording by Mouskouri of the theme song of the Oscar-nominated film The Umbrellas of Cherbourg . From 1968 to 1976, she hosted her own TV show produced by BBC , Presenting Nana Mouskouri . Her popularity as a multilingual television personality and distinctive image, owing to the then unusual signature black-rimmed glasses, turned Mouskouri into an international star.

" Je chante avec toi Liberté ", recorded in 1981, is perhaps her biggest hit to date, performed in at least five languages [3] – French, [4] English as "Song for Liberty", [5] German as "Lied der Freiheit", [6] Spanish as "Libertad" [7] and Portuguese as "Liberdade". [8] " Only Love ", a song recorded in 1985 as the theme song of TV series Mistral's Daughter , gained worldwide popularity along with its other versions in French (as "L'Amour en Héritage"), Italian (as "Come un'eredità"), Spanish (as "La dicha del amor"), and German (as "Aber die Liebe bleibt"). It became her only UK hit single when it reached number two in February 1986. [9] [10]

Mouskouri became a spokesperson for UNICEF in 1993 and was elected to the European Parliament as a Greek deputy from 1994 to 1999. [11] [12]

In 2015 she was awarded the Echo Music Prize for Outstanding achievements by the German music association Deutsche Phono-Akademie. [13]

Nana Mouskouri's family lived in Chania, Crete , where her father, Constantine, worked as a film projectionist in a local cinema; her mother, Alice, worked in the same cinema as an usherette . When Mouskouri was three, her family moved to Athens .

Mouskouri's family sent her and her older sister Eugenía (Jenny) to the Athens Conservatoire . Although Mouskouri had displayed exceptional musical talent from age six, Jenny initially appeared to be the more gifted sibling. Financially unable to support both girls' studies, the parents asked their tutor which one should continue. The sister conceded that Jenny had the better voice, but Nana was the one with the true inner need to sing. Mouskouri has said that a medical examination revealed she only has one functioning vocal cord [14] and this could well account for her remarkable singing voice (in her younger years ranging from a husky, dark alto , which she later dropped, to a ringing coloratura mezzo ), as opposed to her breathy, raspy speaking voice. [15]

Mouskouri's early childhood was marked by the German Nazi occupation of Greece . Her father became part of the anti-Nazi resistance movement in Athens. Mouskouri began singing lessons at age 12. As a child, she listened to radio broadcasts of singers including Frank Sinatra , Ella Fitzgerald , Billie Holiday , and Édith Piaf .

In 1950, she was accepted at the Conservatoire. She studied classical music with an emphasis on singing opera . After eight years at the Conservatoire, Mouskouri was encouraged by her friends to experiment with jazz music. She began singing with her friends' jazz group at night. However, when Mouskouri's Conservatory professor found out about Mouskouri's involvement with a genre of music that was not in keeping with her classical studies, he prevented her from sitting for her end-of-year exams. [16] During an episode of Joanna Lumley's Greek Odyssey , shown on the UK ITV channel in the autumn of 2011, Mouskouri told the actress Joanna Lumley how she had been scheduled to sing at the amphitheatre at Epidauros with other students of the Conservatoire, when upon arrival at the amphitheatre word came through from the Conservatoire in Athens that she had just been barred from participating in the performance there owing to her involvement in light music. Mouskouri subsequently left the Conservatoire and began performing at the Zaki club in Athens.

She began singing jazz in nightclubs with a bias towards Ella Fitzgerald repertoire. In 1957, she recorded her first song, "Fascination", in both Greek and English for Odeon/EMI Greece. By 1958 while still performing at the Zaki, she met Greek composer Manos Hadjidakis . Hadjidakis was impressed by Nana's voice and offered to write songs for her. In 1959 Mouskouri performed Hadjidakis' "Κάπου υπάρχει η αγάπη μου" ( Kápou ipárchi i agápi mou , "Somewhere my love exists"; co-written with poet Nikos Gatsos ) at the inaugural Greek Song Festival . The song won first prize, and Mouskouri began to be noticed.

At the 1960 Greek Song Festival, she performed two more Hadjidakis compositions, "Τιμωρία" ( Timōría , "Punishment") and "Κυπαρισσάκι" ( Kyparissáki , "Little cypress"). Both these songs tied for first prize. Mouskouri performed Kostas Yannidis ' composition, "Ξύπνα αγάπη μου" ( Xýpna agápi mou , "Wake up, my love"), at the Mediterranean Song Festival , held in Barcelona that year. The song won first prize, and she went on to sign a recording contract with Paris -based Philips-Fontana .

In 1961, Mouskouri performed the soundtrack of a German documentary about Greece. This resulted in the German-language single Weiße Rosen aus Athen ("White Roses from Athens"). The song was originally adapted by Hadjidakis from a folk melody. It became a success, selling over a million copies in Germany. The song was later translated into several languages and it went on to become one of Mouskouri's signature tunes.

Mouskouri has been married twice: first at age 25, to Yorgos (George) Petsilas, [17] a guitarist in her backing band (the trio "The Athenians") and the first man she had kissed. They had two children (Nicolas Petsilas in 1968 and Hélène (Lénou) Petsilas in 1970) but divorced when Mouskouri was 39. [18] Not long after that, she started a relationship with her record producer André Chapelle [ citation needed ] , but they did not marry then because she "didn't want to bring another father into the family" and divorce was against her conservative upbringing. [18] They eventually married on January 13, 2003, and live primarily in Switzerland.

In 1960, Mouskouri moved to Paris. [19] She performed Luxembourg's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1963 that year, " À force de prier ". Although the song achieved only eighth place in the contest, it achieved commercial success, and helped win her the prestigious Grand Prix du Disque in France. Mouskouri soon attracted the attention of French composer Michel Legrand , who composed two songs which became major French hits for her: " Les Parapluies de Cherbourg " (1964) and an arrangement of Katherine K. Davis 's "Carol of the Drum", "L'Enfant au Tambour" (1965).

In 1962, she met Quincy Jones , who persuaded her to travel to New York City to record an album of American jazz titled The Girl from Greece Sings . Following that she scored another hit in the United Kingdom with the song "My Colouring Book" (later included in her 1973 album Songs from her TV series ). In 1965, she recorded her second English-language album to be released in the United States, entitled Nana Sings . American singer Harry Belafonte heard and liked the album. Belafonte brought Mouskouri on tour with him through 1966. They teamed for a duo album entitled An Evening With Belafonte/Mouskouri . During this tour, Belafonte suggested that Mouskouri remove her signature black-rimmed glasses when on stage. She was so unhappy with the request that she wanted to quit the show after only two days. Finally, Belafonte relented and respected her wish to perform while wearing glasses. [20]

On September 15, 1965, Mouskouri appeared for the first time on American television with Harry Belafonte on the Danny Kaye Show . While on the show Mouskouri performed "Telalima" followed by "Σήκω χόρεψε κουκλί μου" ( Siko horepse koukli mou ) accompanied by Harry Belafonte and Danny Kaye .

Mouskouri's 1967 French album Le Jour où la colombe raised her to super-stardom in France. This album featured many of her French songs, "Au cœur de septembre", "Adieu Angélina", "Robe bleue, robe blanche" and the French pop classic " Le Temps des cerises ". Mouskouri made her first appearance at Paris' legendary Olympia concert theatre the same year, singing French pop, Greek folk, and Hadjidakis numbers.

These successes across Europe and elsewhere impressed Yvonne Littlewood , the BBC producer who had first met Mouskouri at the 1963 Eurovision Song Contest in London. Following several successful guest appearances on British TV after her Eurovision performance, the BBC then invited Mouskouri and her backing group, the Athenians, to start hosting a TV series called Presenting… Nana Mouskouri from 1968 onwards. Each episode of the series typically contained songs from her developing repertoire of Greek folk music, French chansons, classical pieces and contemporary pop, and the shows often featured world music stars of the time as guests, making it one of the first BBC TV series to do so regularly. Despite the fact that stars from mainland Europe singing in languages other than English have tended to find it difficult to break into the British market, the series proved very popular with viewers of the new BBC-2 channel, and it ran until the mid-1970s. As well as performing British and American pop and folk songs in her shows, Mouskouri also welcomed the television audience, chatted to her guest stars and gave spoken introductions to her French and Greek songs in fluent English. These introductions, along with a modest stage presence and her bespectacled appearance, made her a very distinctive star, as Yvonne Littlewood later explained:

In 1969, Mouskouri released a full-length British LP, Over and over , which reached number 10 and spent almost two years in the UK album charts. [22] This was the first of a series of English-language albums which, boosted by her TV appearances, sold extremely well in the UK and Ireland, as well as in other European countries, during the early 1970s, including The exquisite Nana Mouskouri (1969), Turn on the sun (1970), A place in my heart (1971) and Presenting... Nana Mouskouri (1973), while concerts from two of her British tours were also recorded and released as LPs: British Concert (1972) and Live at the Albert Hall (1974).

Mouskouri's international appeal encouraged the BBC to sell her programmes to television stations across the world, a fact which she acknowledged in a BBC interview in 2014:

Mouskouri also hosted her own shows for French and West German broadcasters during this period. At a time when TV programmes could attract huge audiences, her popularity as a multilingual television personality turned her into a truly international star.

Although music series such as hers were becoming less common on British TV as the 1970s wore on, the BBC continued to engage her regularly for one-off television specials and guest appearances on other programmes until the mid-1980s, by which time she had been a regular contributor to British TV for more than 20 years. Meanwhile, during the 1970s and 1980s, she expanded her concert tour to include her new fans, not only in the United Kingdom, but also in Ireland , New Zealand , Japan and Australia , where she met Frank Hardy , who followed her to the south of France in 1976.

Always a prolific recording artist, the 1970s saw Mouskouri record several LPs in German, including the hit albums, Sieben schwarze Rosen (1975) and Lieder, die die Liebe schreibt (1978). In France, she continued a series of top-selling records, such as Comme un soleil (1971), Une voix qui vient du cœur (1972), Vieilles chansons de France (1973), and Quand tu chantes (1976). Meanwhile, Passport, a compilation including her most popular songs in English, reached number 3 in the UK album charts in 1976 and won for her a gold disc. [22]
