Kristi Stassinopoulou

A native Athenian and active on Greece's underground music scene for many years, Kristi has generated a wide appeal on the international world music circuit . The successful blend of traditional Greek rhythms and sound colours, haunting Byzantine vocal lines, rembetika music, psychedelic rock, ambience and electronica, combined with Kristi's vivid scenic appearance and personality and her colourful band, sparked great response and led to frequent appearances in music festivals and clubs mostly in Europe, N. America and Brazil..

Kristi's poetic lyrics evoke primordial mythology, alluding to imaginary landscapes, sun worship, bright passions and all things eternal.
Her albums have garnered enthusiastic reviews around around the globe (fRoots, New York Herald Tribune, Global Village, Jazz Times, El Pais, Billboard, Time Out and many more), while she has been compared at times to Hedningarna, Steeleye Span, Patti Smith, Grace Slick and Bjork. Accompanied by her long time collaborator composer, arranger, co-producer and multi-instrumentalist Stathis Kalyviotis, she has released four albums of international appeal, Ifantokosmos, Echotropia (WMCE Top 10, released in Greece, in N. America and in Brasil) The Secrets of the Rocks (number 1 in the WMCE top 10 in Jan 03, released in the UK , in N. America & in Spain) and in 2006, Taxidoscopio (..."traveller's tales from the Greekadelic Queen..." fRoots).Kristi and Stathis continue their musical voyage, writing new songs, experimenting on sounds and giving live performances in Greece and abroad.
