ZOE PAPADOPOULOU

The festival’s musical journey begins on 4/8 with Zoe Papadopoulou, a singer who has won the audience with her vocal abilities and interpretation through partnerships in recent years with well known Greek artists. For 2011 she has prepared a musical journey through time, based on the feeling and emotion that good Greek songs know how to cause. She interprets old and latest songs of the soul and songs from her personal discography, in a musical compilation for piano and voice. Together with her on the piano is Sassa Papalamprou.

Zoe Papadopoulou is a Greek singer, who ever since she was a little girl had the dream of becoming a professional singer, and this dream came true. After graduating from College, she started singing at clubs in Thessaloniki, Greece, where she was born and grew up. That was the place where the famous Greek singer Dimitris Mitropanos heard her singing and immediately invited her to go to Athens and participate in the summer music concert tour he had organized! That was almost nine years ago.

In 2002, Zoe Papadopoulou came to Athens, where she immediately started a series of exceptional music collaborations and she appeared on stage with famous and extraordinary Greek artists, as Dimitris Mitropanos, Haroula Alexiou, Yannis Kotsiras, Eleftheria Arvanitaki, Kostas Makedonas etc. Three years later, her first album was released, titled “Krystalla kokkina filia”, which was produced by Haroula Alexiou. The album was a great success and the duet song of both Zoe Papadopoulou and Haroula Alexiou, “Ah kai na se iha edo” was the one that mostly stood out, as it combined the voices of two great singers.

In 2008, her second album, titled “Τatouaz”, was released. The homonymous song was a great hit, once again with the lyrics of Haroula Alexiou, who has not stopped believing in her. From then and on, Zoe has been invited by many music festivals and clubs, where she has presented her own live concerts marking her personal music path.

Zoe Papadopoulou has organized for 2011 a live music tour all around Greece and abroad, with a show that apart from her beautiful songs also includes foreign modern and more classic songs, and generally songs that touch everyone’s heart. Her show is supported by the pianist Sassa Papalamprou in an extraordinary combination of musical rhythms.
