While Greek is the language of introspection and inner tragedy, Angelique Ionatos very quickly chose to use it outside Athens, where she was born. In 1969, the young singer fled her country under military dictatorship for Belgium. In 1972, she recorded Resurrection, a first success. She won the Charles-Cros prize in France and started her career here. For the last thirty years, this unusual singer has produced records and new works one after the other (Avignon, Theatre de la Ville, in Paris, Sartrouville, and elsewhere). She conducts a dialogue not just with Greece (singing poems by Sappho of Mytilene [Lesbos] and Odysseus Elytis), but also with Leo Ferre or the Mexican painter who led a turbulent and militant life, Frida Kahlo, whose private diary she has performed. Growing up to the sound of the songs brought back by her sailor father, she sings in Greek, Spanish or French, accompanied since 1990 by her friend, Christian Boissel. While the recent album Anthologia summarises her thirty-year career, her new work, Athenes-Paris, via… is presented as a travelogue, notes on her never-ending comings and goings, an inner labour expressing the intensity and depth of an extraordinary artistic exile.
