Marianna Masadi unites cultures through her music
When two souls merge into one core, a special energy arises – this is how the phenomenon of Marianna Masadi can best be described.
The German-Greek singer brings both cultures together in her music and performance. With her warm voice, she sings in German and Greek about universal themes such as love, joy of life, and overcoming crises – always with heart and soul.
Éntekhno singing became her trademark early on and earned her praise from none other than Mikis Theodorakis, who called her the “new voice of Greece” and accompanied Masadi for many years as a mentor.
Marianna Masadi’s life path pointed her toward music from an early age. Born into a Greek family in the Swabian Alb, she grew up in the midst of a vibrant Greek community in Germany and learned the language, dance, and songs of her heritage from childhood. This dual cultural foundation continues to shape her artistic identity to this day.
While she is already a celebrated singer in Greece, appearing on TV shows, radio programs, and festivals, she is now also gaining recognition in Germany through appearances on shows such as Immer wieder sonntags and Schlager-Spaß mit Andy Borg.
With her new album Nacht in Athen (Night in Athens), Marianna Masadi brings a bright splash of Mediterranean vitality, heartfelt emotion, and cultural diversity to the German Schlager scene.
Her debut album, set to be released on September 19, 2025, and produced by Jeo Koba and the Subway Studios in Athens, marks not only another milestone in her career but also an impressive bridge between German Schlager, pop appeal, and Greek flair.
Several songs on Nacht in Athen were written by hit songwriter Kristina Bach, known for the mega-hit Atemlos durch die Nacht (Breathless Through the Night).
The album also features cover versions of international classics – songs that have accompanied Marianna Masadi for years and are among her personal favorites. With her voice, she gives these well-known melodies a new color without losing their essence. Among them is Dann kamst du (Then You Came) by Leo Leandros (famously performed by Vicky Leandros, winner of the 1972 Eurovision Song Contest for Luxembourg), a piece with special meaning due to her close connection to the Leandros family. Other highlights include An jenem Tag, mein Freund (On That Day, My Friend) and Goodbye My Love Goodbye.
