Artist
Κυριάκος Γκουβέντας {Kyriakos Gouventas} (b. 1966) is a Greek musician specialising in traditional music. Gouventas was born in Thessaloniki. After attending the State Conservatory, where he studied violin, he worked with the State Orchestra of Thessaloniki and in various chamber music ensembles. He was also actively involved in various traditions of Greek music (dimotika, rembetika, smyrnaika, etc.), and more recently decided to turn his attentions entirely to traditional music. He is a member of the Ensemble of Traditional Music of the municipality of Thessaloniki. He has taken part in some hundred recordings of traditional Greek music and modern “entechno” (“art”) music. He frequently collaborates with the best-known traditional Greek dance groups, such as the Lykeion Ellinidon, and plays in regional traditional festivals all over Greece. He is a founding-member of the group Primavera en Salonico, the group which since 1996 has played all over the world with the well-known Greek singer Σαβίνα Γιαννάτου. He also is very much in demand as a violinist among the best of Greek singers and musicians, for concerts, recordings, and world tours.
