Maria Kouskousi

(1898–1994) | She was born in Reisdere in the Erythraea region. After 1922 she settled in the village of Agios Dimitrios on the island of Lemnos, where she lived until the end of her life. In 1973 Domna Samiou met her and recorded from her songs originating from Reisdere. She was a bearer of the musical tradition of the Reisdere refugees, and her voice has been preserved in recordings that capture the distinctive character of Asia Minor song.
