about
Stelios Vamvakaris (Στέλιος Βαμβακάρης) (b. 1947) is a Greek popular composer and bouzouki player, the son of Μάρκος Βαμβακάρης. Born on 2nd March 1947, he has been a professional musician since the age of twelve, and has worked with many leading Greek musicians, including Γιώργος Ζαμπέτας, Καίτη Γκρέυ, Βίκυ Μοσχολιού, Λευτέρης Παπαδόπουλος, Σωτηρία Μπέλλου, Παύλος Σιδηρόπουλος, Νίκος Ξυλούρης, and Γιώργος Νταλάρας. He has written music for films (such as Μια μέρα τη νύχτα) and the stage. He has an interest in the connections between rembetika and the blues: in 1988 he collaborated with Louisiana Red on an eight-song album called Το μπλουζ συναντά το ρέμπετικο (The Blues Meets Rembetiko), and he has performed with John Lee Hooker.
