The biography of Sotiria Bellou titled "Sometimes Craps, Sometimes Sixes," the book that was particularly loved, is being reissued and released by Angelaki Publications. It is a special moment as 2021 marks 100 years since her birth. Sotiria Bellou marked dozens of musical creations with her unique voice. Her performances were powerful, moving, and did not just entertain but managed to captivate, often touching on 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, of the immortal folk songs, will always be in our hearts. The uniqueness of her voice, her unparalleled interpretative contribution, has placed her in the list of those who toiled, sacrificed, and contributed to the evolution of the history of Greek song. The author brought to light and offers us a treasure of experiences and narratives of a personality that is simultaneously images of an entire era, which decisively marked with its course the history of folk song and more broadly our folk culture. Through narratives, both her own and those of people who knew her, with rich photographic material and documents, her tumultuous life is illuminated, her anxieties, her struggles for survival, but also her social struggles, the sorrows, and the joys of a great career. A life full of hardships, wounds, but also "miracles," of a human nature "explosive," rebellious, completely and uncompromisingly free, and a soul that became the "voice of the people." A voice that indelibly marked Greek - both folk and art - song of the 20th century.   The Foreign Press on Sotiria Bellou   "Bellou was the last and perhaps greatest singer of the rebetika, which, in the Greek music scene, correspond to American blues or Argentine tangos. And Bellou had style - mental strength and style intertwined with her ability to inspire respect. Despite her tormented life, she never lost her zest or the courage to stand tall." The Guardian by Constantine Buhayer "Sotiria Bellou, a leading singer of the popular rebetika music, often described as Greek blues, died on Wednesday, two days before her seventy-sixth birthday." The New York Times by Paul Anastasi "Her music was soul music. One could say that Sotiria Bellou is to Greece what Billie Holiday is to America. But Greece holds greater respect for Bellou than America does for Holiday. Yes, ultimately I am sure that I cannot see Sotiria Bellou and Greece separately. Sophia Adamidou, thank you for this very important book." Kathleen Dixon, University of North Dakota.
