 Introduction
The name of Maria Farantouri is often linked to that of Mikis
Theodorakis. Indeed it was him who discovered her talent when she was only
sixteen years old, and after that she performed the music of Mikis on many
occasions. Her fame started in 1965 when she reached the top with her first
record, Theodorakis' "The Mauthausen Cycle". She left Greece in 1967
after the military dictatorship had begun. Her music was banned in Greece by the
military Junta, and she protested against it in hundreds of concerts all over
the world until 1974.
Apart from collaborations with Theodorakis, Maria also worked with Manos
Hadjidakis, Zubin Mehta and Zülfü Livanelli.
On her 1990 album '17 songs', arranged and produced by the Cuban Leo Brouwer,
she also included three songs she recorded with Vangelis.
