The most
characteristic representative of the kind of music called “Rembetiko” is Markos
Vamvakaris who was born in Ano Syros in 1905 and grew up in Pireus from the age
of 12. He learnt the bouzouki (the most representative Greek string instrument
with worldwide appeal) all by himself and started writing lyrics at the age of
25.
He composed and recorded many songs and also
sang some characteristic “Rembetika” songs composed by others. His most
well-known song is “Fragosyriani”.
