Carmen Tanti, who together with her husband formed the Greenfields duo, has died, aged 75.

Carmen had been married to Joe and they had two children, Clive and Myra.

Together with Charles Bajada, the couple had formed the Greenfields in 1970. Bajada died in 1990 with the band continuing as a duo.

Their popular repertoire of simple but catchy tunes includes Il-Karozzin, Il-Vapur ta' l-Art, it-Terramaxka and Il-Banda ta' Indri.

For a time the duo also presented a programme on RTK radio.

Her last appearance on TV was last Saturday during the programme Arani issa on One.
