Giorgos Zampetas, Greek music composer, singer and one of the greatest bouzouki artists was born in Metaxourgio area of Athens, on 25 January 1925.

From a very young age, Zampetas showed a great interest in music: as he was helping his father in his barber shop, he secretly played his first melodies on a bouzouki.

During the German occupation of Greece, in times of poverty and misery, Zampetas founded his first band in 1942, after having moved to the Egaleo neighborhood of Athens, 2 years prior to that.

Despite the struggles of the past decade, due to changes in music fashion, the 1990s brought about new records and releases by Zampetas.

He is recognised as one of the most famous and most significant composers, and musicians that have contributed to the Greek Laïko music genre.
