 ==Biography==
-Mouskouri was born in [[Chania]], [[Crete]] where her parents had been on business. When she was 3, her family moved back to [[Athens]]. In [[1950]], she was accepted at the [[Athens Conservatory]], but she was expelled in [[1957]] after it was discovered that she was singing with a jazz group at night. She won first prize at the [[1959]] [[Greek Song Festival]] singing [[Manos Hadjidakis]]'s "Kapou Iparchi Agapi Mou" (My love exists somewhere). Curiously enough, she also won second prize in the same contest singing "Asteri, asteraki" (Star, little star) with her group "Trio Canzone".

In 2004, her French record company released an unprecedented 34-CD box set of more than 600 of Mouskouri's mostly French songs. For 2005 and 2006, she plans a farewell concert tour of Europe, Australia, Asia, South America, the United States and Canada. Mouskouri has sold more than 190 million(*) records internationally, recording about 1,500 songs in 15 languages. She has more than 300 gold and platinum albums worldwide.
