George Dalaras was born in Pireus in 1950. His father was a famous bouzouki player in the “rembetika” or Greek Blues movement that flowered in the 1920s and 1930s. This was the coffee house music played by Greek refugees from Turkey who were resettled in Greek harbour towns. After fifty years, this music underwent a renaissance which was launched by George Dalaras’s album 50 Years of Rembetika. In addition, Dalaras has also made many extremely popular and important records in virtually all Greek... genres, from ethnopop to entechno scored for large orchestra. He has released sixty five solo albums to date and contributed as a singer to a further fifty. He has worked with international stars of light music such as Al di Meola, Paco de Lucia, Goran Bregovic and Sting. In Greece, he can fill entire stadiums with capacities of seventy or eighty thousand people and while the Palace of Arts cannot compete with that, there is no question that we are expecting a wonderful celebration of Greek musical culture.
