Eleni Tzoka

[1] At an early age, she was familiarized with music by her parents and numerous siblings (she was the ninth child)[2] who would constantly play or sing.

[3] Tzoka started her professional career in 1975 when she joined Prometheus, a newly founded music band that was mainly active in Sopot.

[2] When she was informed about her daughter's death, she immediately phoned the mother of Afrodyta's boyfriend and told her without anger that they had "lost their children".

She was honoured in 1999 with the annual Saint Rita of Cascia prize, awarded to women of different religious beliefs who have overcome a tragic event in their lives.

Apart from music-related awards, she was also honoured (2003) with the Złote Serce (Heart of Gold) prize from the Saint Stanisław Kostka Foundation for the Disabled Children and Youth in Katowice for her "generosity, kindness, understanding, co-operativeness, namely everything that makes the realization of laudable aims for the environment of disabled children and youth possible".

The official justification for the prize included her meetings with the youth and the charity concerts given in social assistance centres and prisons.
