'''Rena Dallia''' was a [[Greeks|Greek]] [[rebetika]] singer.

Dallia was born Eleftheria Papakosta in [[Patra]], in [[1934]] or [[1935]], to a family originally from [[Epirus]].

She came to [[Athens]] in the early [[1950s]] to study but was soon discovered as a singer in a radio talent program. Dallia first sang professionally in a small club in [[Athens]]. She was discovered there by a member of [[Yiannis Papaioannou (rebetika)|Yiannis Papaioannou]]'s group and soon made the acquaintance of the great [[bouzouki]] master and composer. In [[1952]] she followed Papaioannou to Istanbul where they had a successful - and profitable - 2-month stint.

Dallia recorded Papaioannou's great hit songs «Είμαστε φίλοι» and «Χαλάλι σου χαλάλι». She also recorded songs by [[Vasilis Tsitsanis]], [[Manolis Chiotis]], [[Giorgos Mitsakis]] and others. In [[1954]] she went on an extended tour of the United States. In [[1958]], she toured Australia, western Europe and the Middle East. The following year, she returned to the US and married a Greek-American. Eventually, the couple settled in [[Piraeus]].

Dallia died in [[2000]].
