Dinata (Greek: "Δυνατά"; English: "Strong" or "Possible") is a song from the album Meno Ektos ("I'll keep outside"), composed by Ara Dinkjian and sung by Eleftheria Arvanitaki. It mixes the influence of Balkan music with electronics. That song, among the others on Meno Ektos, made Arvanitaki a big name in Greece. She also performed the song at the closing ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympics, during the fireworks and after the flame was extinguished.

The English words dynamo and dynamic are derivatives of Greek dinata.
