About Gogo Tsampa

Gogó Tsampá (Gr: Γωγώ Τσαμπά; Orchomenus, Greece, November 9th 1982) is a Greek singer of traditional Greek Dimotiko music, as well as Greek pop folk. Dubbed a woman of low notes, her voice has been described to have a deep, Byzantine timbre. Tsampa grew up in a musical family with her father being a singer and a church chanter, eventually following along at his appearances at village festivals (Gr: πανηγύρια; panigyria). She has been active since the late 1990s, withdrawing from high school to follow her musical passion, however she rose to fame across the entire country in the early 2010s following multiple viral songs, succeeding to create an interest among the Greek youth towards panigyria. She has since become one of the top names of her genre, touring the entire country, as well as abroad. According to Tsampa, her live repertoire consists of over 3000 songs and she is capable of singing for over 12 hours straight without repeating a song. Despite her base being traditional music, she has collaborated with big names representing various other genres, such as the honoured songwriter Stamatis Kraounakis, as well as covered multiple hits of Greek popular music and urban folk. In 2020, Tsampa participated in the Greek edition of the entertainment show Just The Two Of Us as a coach, introducing herself to new genres she had formerly hesitated to try. According to her, the participation marked the beginning of a visible personal transformation towards increased self-confidence. In her interviews, Tsampa has actively defended the rights of the Greek LGBTQ+ youth, especially that of the Greek countryside - opening the discussion inside the traditional music scene and thus pioneering as an advocate for change and acceptance in areas known to be conservative. She has openly called for the parents of the LGBTQ+ youth in the Greek countryside to support their children.
