Vicky Moscholiou

(1943 - 2005)

Vicky Moscholiou (Greek: Βίκυ Μοσχολιού, 23 May 1943 – 16 August 2005), was a Greek performer with a significant repertoire and a huge contribution to the Greek culture and the history of lyrical (entechno) and urban folk (laiko) song. Manos Hatzidakis described her voice as "the cello of Greek music", while Mikis Theodorakis called her "a singer resembling an ancient Doric boulder". Yannis Tsarouchis had said that "Vicky Moscholiou is the Kotopouli of Greek song.” Lefteris Papadopoulos noted that "the Greek song owes its voice to her," and Giannis Markopoulos said, "Vicky Moscholiou is gifted with natural talent".
