The Greek New Wave (Greek: Νέο Κύμα, [ˈneo ˈcima]) was a movement in Greek music that started in the mid-1960s and lasted about a decade. It was a mixture of entechno and French chansons; it was so named by Giannis Spanos after the French Nouvelle Vague. Most of the Greek New Wave artists released their songs in the Greek label LYRA.

Notable Greek artists from the Neo Kyma movement include:

  • Arleta
