Discover the enchanting sounds of Dafné Kritharas, a Franco-Greek singer who draws inspiration from a rich repertoire shaped by the convergence of cultures during the Ottoman Empire. With roots in her Cretan upbringing, Dafné blends melodies from various traditions, including Bosnian, Armenian, and Turkish, infusing them with elements of jazz, folk, and subtle electronic touches.

Through her albums, Dafné weaves a poetic narrative around themes of loss, exile, and the vastness of the sea, exploring the emotions tied to her father’s early departure. Greek and Judeo-Spanish songs serve as a backdrop for her musings on separation and reunion. Embracing the power of collaboration, Dafné joins forces with musicians from diverse backgrounds, forging connections between cultures, countries, and religions.
