George Dalaras, the famous Greek singer
|
|
George Dalars was born
in Piraeus, the main port of Athens.
George Dalaras comes from
a tradition of folk and blues music. His father was a traditional
musician and " bouzouki" instrumentalist and his first
musical memories are of the main forms of Hellenic music: the laika
(popular), the rebetika (a kind of blues) and the paradosiaka (traditional).
|
Thanks to his exceptional voice and instrumental skills he has
always been at the forefront of innovation in contemporary Greek
music.
In the course of the last two decades he has become the
benchmark of what his kind of music is (or should be) about , renewing
the genre by leading his mainly youthful public along neglected
musical paths like the smirneika and the rebetika.
In a country
with so many flourishing traditions, George Dalaras has become
a musical phenomenon.
