neg: Yovanna Yovanna Yovanna (born Ιωάννα Φάσσου Καλπαξή – "Ioanna Fassou Kalpaxi", born on November 14, 1940, Amaliada) is a Greek singer, novelist and poet known for her participation in the 1965 Eurovision Song Contest representing Switzerland. At the age of 14 she started her vocal studies at the Athens Conservatoire and trained as an opera singer, namely a lyric soprano. Concurrently, using the stage name “Yovanna”, she was broadcasting on the National Radio with the Greek Radio Light Music Orchestra, thereby putting in jeopardy the scholarship that the Athens Conservatoire had awarded her, as this sort of activity was strictly forbidden.
