Anna Vissi

The ultimate Greek superstar. The reigning music queen. Not just in Greece and her native Cyprus, but for millions all over the world. It seems that Anna Vissi adds to her following with everything she does. Perhaps because with every new release and every live appearance, Anna builds on her legacy and adds to her impact on contemporary Greek music. Her repertoire over the years has been vast and varied. From traditional Greek folk songs to hard edged rock. From classical opera to techno pop, Anna has done it all. But still she continues to surprise her audience. On her latest release, Apagorevmeno ("Forbidden" in Greek), Anna has enlisted some of the world's foremost music producers and worked in some of the world's top studios to create a richness and variety of sound never before captured in contemporary Greek music. This album went Gold the first day of its release and shot to the number one position on the charts just days thereafter. It's hard to imagine Anna's impact on the Greek music world. A closer look at her recording career provides a hint of just how significant that impact is: 26 albums. One seven times Platinum. Three triple Platinum. Four double Platinum. Seven Platinum. Nine Gold. NEXT Anna will appear in the Balkans and London capping off with a massive concert in Greece on June 30, her first local performance in three years. This will be followed by a nationwide tour in 25 locations throughout Greece. Stay tuned for an international album in 2009 and a world tour in 2010 as Anna Vissi takes her platinum status to the global stage.
