Rena Koumioti: The voice of the Greek New Wave is silent

One evening in 1968, on the stage of the "Apanemia" bar in Plaka, a new girl, unknown to the general public, sings, together with the also young Manolis Mitsias. Below in the audience, sit Manos Loizos and Lefteris Papadopoulos who at that time, together with Mimis Plessas, were looking for a female voice for the new album they were preparing, "Dromos". Papadopoulos is excited by the girl's voice and asks her to go, the very next day, to the Columbia studios for an audition. In just a few hours she is with a record contract in hand and in the following days she records two of the songs of the most timeless and commercial Greek record of all time: "Proti Fora" and "Give me your mouth"...
