The biography of Sotiria Bellou titled "Sometimes dories sometimes sixes", the book that was greatly loved, is being reissued and released by Angelaki publications. It is a special moment as 2021 marks 100 years since her birth.

Sotiria Bellou sealed dozens of musical creations with her unique voice. Her powerful and moving performances were not limited to entertaining, but managed to captivate, often touching broader social situations. Her voice, for about half a century, gave wings to dozens of songs, making them an integral part of the Greek soul. That is why Sotiria, the immortal singer of folk songs, will always be in our hearts. The uniqueness of her voice, her unparalleled interpretive contribution, has placed her on the list of those who toiled, sacrificed, and contributed to the evolution of the history of Greek music.

The author brings to light and offers us a treasure trove of experiences and narratives of a personality that is also images of an entire era, which decisively marked the history of folk music and our popular culture more broadly.

Through narratives, both her own and those of people who knew her, with rich photographic material and documents, the tumultuous life of Sotiria is illuminated, her struggles, the battles for her survival, but also her social struggles, the bitterness, but also the joys of a great career. A life full of hardships, wounds, but also "miracles", of an "explosive", rebellious human nature, uncompromisingly free in every way, and a soul that became the "voice of the people". A voice that indelibly marked Greek -folk and art- song of the 20th century.
