This was the first of several musical tours overseas. In , Albanian impresario Ayden Leskoviku of the Balkan Record Company invited her to perform and record in Istanbul, the city where she was born.

Nevertheless, Eskenazi loved America and would have emigrated there were it not for her other love, Christos Philipokopoulos. She returned to Athens in so that she could be with him. She bought the two of them a large house in Kipoupoli with the money that earned in the States, as well as two trucks and some horses.

She and Philipakopoulos would live in that home for the rest of her life. Eskenazi was now in her sixties, and the music scene in Greece had changed considerably since she launched her career over four decades earlier. Smyrneiko the music of İzmir and Rebetiko had declined in popularity, and she, as well as other masters of the genre, were relegated to occasional appearances at village festivals and other small events.

Though she did record a few songs over the coming years, these were mainly covers of her older, well-known hits, made for minor recording companies in Athens. It was only in the late s that there was some renewed interest in her earlier work. RCA recorded two 45s containing four of her songs including "Sabah Amanes" with violinist Dimitris Manisalis, but the release was limited.

As one of the few surviving Rebetiko singers who remained active at the time, artists and musicologists began studying her style, which was deemed "authentic".

This had a lasting impact on a new generation of performers including Haris Alexiou whom she appeared with on television and Glykeria. The tragedy was that while musicians and academics were intrigued by her abilities, as well as by her insights into a lost musical world, the general public was less enthusiastic, and considered her more of a curiosity.

Nevertheless, she continued to perform, giving her last show in September , when she was at least 80 years old, in Patras.

Eskenazi spent her twilight years in quiet, at her home in Kipoupoli, together with Christos Philipakopoulos. Although she was a Jew from birth, she converted to the Greek Orthodox faith in , and was renamed Rozalia Eskenazi. Within two years, she began to show symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and would occasionally get lost as she made her way home.
