Singer, political activist, Greek pacifist and UNICEF goodwill ambassador Nana Mouskouri was born in Chania, Crete Island, Greece, on October 13, 1934.
She was a Greek deputy in the European Parliament from 1994 to 1999, through the “New Democracy” party, the main center-right political party in her country.
Famous and renowned throughout the world, Nana became one of the best-selling singers in the history of music, with more than 350 million copies sold. Her musical genre flirted with different styles, such as: jazz, pop, folk, easy listening, world music and even classics.
Knowledgeable in several languages, she has recorded more than 1500 songs in more than 15 languages, including Greek, French, English, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Hebrew, Welsh, Mandarin (Chinese), Japanese, Corsican, Arabic and Turkish.
In a duet with the Brazilian singer and composer Martinho da Vila, Nana recorded the song Canta, canta, minha gente, one of the samba singer's greatest hits, which she had also performed in other languages.
She has worked for the record labels Fontana, Polydor, Mercury, Verve, Philips, Polygram and Universal Music.
In 2018, the year she turned 84, singer Nana released the album “Forever Young”. One of the standout tracks was the original version of Salma ya salama, in Arabic, recorded in honor of friend and Italian singer Dalida (1933-1987), who would have turned 85 years old if she were alive.
