At the sad news of the death of Alexa Fragoulis, Western Greece and the entire community of Paradoi “froze”. The great lady of folk song “left” from a standoff, leaving her numerous fans in awe.

He was born in Lakkopetrawas from a musical family, from which her sister also distinguished herself Kiki Frangoulisher nephew Tasos Frangoulis etc. She had made many successful records, with traditional songs, but also with her own contemporary folk repertoire.
Shocked o Dimitris Bravos, president of the Association of Musicians of the Peloponnese of Western Greece, Ionian Islands and Epirus “Daiv“, speaking to the newspaper “Peloponnisos” and Panagiotis Rigopoulos, noted: “We have lost a great form of Tradition! It was a big story, it was a great diva for 30 yearswith a large discography and was especially in Achaia, the first name! He had financial problems. He ended up getting the national pension. We tried to get him an honorary pension from the Ministry of Culture, but we didn’t succeed. We didn’t have time….
As a person, she was a good character, supported the Association, helped those who asked her for help. At all the major events of the Association she was present and honored her colleagueshe had collaborated with all the native professionals of the field and was widely accepted by the world. As a colleague, she was wonderful, especially in the campy song, she was unique! He was a beast at work! Tireless and honorable!”.
Her colleague singer, Dimitris Sakalis, said to “P”:
“Good Heaven to him! She was a worthy colleague, that we have had an undisturbed and constructive cooperation for many years. It was charismatic performer of the National Anthem and people adored her wherever she appeared. God rest her.”
The clarinetist Valantis Karagiannisaccompanied her for many years on the music stage: “We had played together many times, in Greece, Germany and America. It was a respectful and giving person, who was helping her new colleagues. After Filio Pyrgaki, she was considered the greatest musical name in Western Greece.
She has had health problems in recent years, as well as some financial problems, which probably affected her health. He was on the job for half a century. A first-line name and No. 1 in the area! She was a genuine municipal performer, an excellent colleague, with a great impact in the world and took part in solidarity events in favor of her colleagues”.
