    There is a book published in 2006 about her life.
    Unfortunately available only in greek.
    Here is the link

    but life they retained in their own keeping"

    I just can't remember hearing about she's died or being ill.
    She was present in the press conference given about the book I mentioned which took place at 05-02-07 in Athens.

    Smile When you push yourself you may find something

    So.... there is a work called "Greek discography" by Petro Dragoumanos
    that contains the complete ! discography of the period 1961- 2005.

    Giving a chance at there, brought me upon a 2 sentences bio of Lidia.

    Lidia is actually called Panagiota Montaraki. She was born in Nea Ionia Athens on 24/02/1934. She started her recordings on 1953 with a 45 vinyl that included the (unknown to me) songs "Kapoia foni akoustike" and "Opoios exei polla vassana" sung by herself and her those-days husband Strato Attalidi (never heard of him).
    Both songs were written by Gerasimo Klouvatos.

    And that was it......

    But I must say that between 1961 and 2005 her voice appeared in 68 published recordings (personal or collections or live ones).

    If you wanna learn more about her you have to make someone translate the whole book for you.
