Her first album ‘Mila mou apla’ (‘ Just speak to me’) was a collaboration with new singers Manolis Lidakis and Melina Tanagri, based on songs composed by Taki Bougas with lyrics from Antonis Andrikaki. With every following album, Dimou’s popularity increased, thanks to her modern, natural and flexible interpretations, combining the more traditional Greek roots with western pop style.
In 1986 she collaborated with Lakis Papadopoulos on her album ‘Kata bathos alepou’ (‘Basically fox’). With her by that time already highly acclaimed husky, sultry voice she sang both ballads and pop-rock songs. In this periode of time, she collaborated with famous artists like Georgios Dalaras and Mikis Theodorakis.
Her 1988 album ‘Prosopika’ (‘Personal’), recorded with G. Spanos, was both artistically as commercially a great success. In the next decade Dimou keeps releasing new albums regularly, always combining Greek folk music with western arrangements and world music influences. In 1990 she released the album ‘Pathis’ (‘Passions’), on which she chanted byzantine hymns on a requiem by D. Papostolou.
In the second half of the nineties, popularity and album sales decreased. A new generation of Greek pop singers seemed to have taken her place. Dimou seemed to be stuck between Greek folk and modern pop, unable to rejuvenate herself. Around the start of the new millennium, inspiration and creativity seemed to have returned, resulting in more frequent album releases and collaborations with international artists like Alpha Blondy, Salif Keita, The Christians, Gipsy Kings and Linton Kwesi Johnson.
In her almost thirty year spanning career, Eleni Dimou recorded more than 20 albums, nine went gold and three platinum in Greece. She is married to producer and engineer Akis Golfidis and the couple have a son named Anthony.

Είναι η σχέση μασ πολύ εκρηκτική

Είναι η σχέση μασ πολύ εκρηκτική
Μετά μωρό μου ζητάσ χαδάκια

Αννετα Νταφου
Αν το δεις λογικά
δεν τα πάμε εμείς καλά
Αν το δεις σχετικά
είναι όλα μια χαρά
Ενοχές, φταίω φταις
κι απειλές για χωρισμό
τρυφεροί εραστές
με τον ίδιο στεναγμό
Με αντιθέσεις και καβγαδάκια
είναι η σχέση μας πολύ εκρηκτική
μετά μωρό μου ζητάς χαδάκια
και αλλάζει η ερωτική πλοκή
Μ’ αγαπάς σε μισώ
τι παράλογο συμβαίνει
Μαύρο εσύ άσπρο εγώ
μα κι οι δυο ερωτευμένοι
Αννετα Νταφου
Αν το δεις λογικά
δεν τα πάμε εμείς καλά
Αν το δεις σχετικά
είναι όλα μια χαρά
Ενοχές, φταίω φταις
κι απειλές για χωρισμό
τρυφεροί εραστές
με τον ίδιο στεναγμό
Με αντιθέσεις και καβγαδάκια
είναι η σχέση μας πολύ εκρηκτική
μετά μωρό μου ζητάς χαδάκια
και αλλάζει η ερωτική πλοκή
Μ’ αγαπάς σε μισώ
τι παράλογο συμβαίνει
Μαύρο εσύ άσπρο εγώ
μα κι οι δυο ερωτευμένοι
