NANA MOUSHOURI
Three hundred million disks later...
Three hundred million disks later...
A girl born on October 13, 1934 in Chania and meant to become one of the most known Greeks in the world. Nana Moushouri, Nana of Greece, with the characteristic glasses and the passport always off-hand, said good bye to her public with a world tour that was completed last summer in the Herodeion theater in Athens.
"I was not forced. It was my choice". So simply and decisively, Nana Moushouri explained a while ago, the happy end of a musical adventure that began years ago and led her to all five continents. That’s why once her good friend Nikos Gatsos had said: "this girl is a boat that travels constantly".
Nana in numbers
Her CV includes 1600 songs in eight different languages, 450 cds published worldwide, from which more than 350 have been granted the status of “golden” and “platinum”. According to the official records of IFPI, her disk sales have exceeded 300 million worldwide, a fact that classifies her in the same league with the Beatles and Elvis Presley. In France, she is the female artist with the most golden disks, since the time the institution was established in 1974. She has also received many honorary rewards in many countries.
The last thirty years she was giving on average 100 concerts per year, and all these years, Greek songs had their big share in her program.
In Chania
The year that Nana was born her family lived in Chania. Her father, Kostas Mouschouris, worked as a projectionist but he also loved gambling very much. So much that, when her mother Aliki was about to give birth to her, he left to call the midwife but he made a stop in order to see how the left unfinished game was going. He came back home in the morning and Nana was already born! In her biography she mentions that her parents always taught her to be a good person and help her to deal with her weaknesses in the same way they were trying to deal with their own. They always revealed to her the bright side through the dark one.

CAPTAIN MIHALIS/Καπετάν Μιχάλης
Op. 24 (1966).
Music and songs for the stage adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis' novel of the same name performed by the Greek Popular Theatre under the direction of Manos Katrakis. The lyrics comprised various sentences in the book, whose selection and composition into seven entities was undertaken by Yerassimos Stavrou.
First recording: July 1966
Said lyrics something like this:
Δεν ήταν νησί
Ήταν θεριό που κοίτονταν στη θάλασσα
Κι ήταν η γοργόνα η αδελφή του Μέγα Αλεξανδρού
Πού θρινούσε και φουρτούνιαζε το πέλαγο
Αμά ΄λευθερωθεί η Κρήτη
Θα ΄λευθερωθεί κι εμένα η καρδιά μου
Αμά ΄λευθερωθεί η Κρήτη,
Θα γελάσω.

Personally I've always been a little upset at Alexander & his men for leaving me so little of Persepolis left to gaze upon, but I guess some 2338 years after the event it's time to forgive and forget.
خدا حافظ به همگی
