Loukas Daralas (Greek: Λουκάς Νταράλας) (1927 – June 12, 1977) was born in Athens and is perhaps best known as the father of contemporary singer George Dalaras.
According to the surviving relatives of famous rebetissa Marika Ninou, in an interview with Panos Geramanis on radio in late 2004, Marika Ninou was the one who discovered, hence the first singer to record "To Vouno", one of the last songs recorded by Ninou, prior to her untimely death.
The Keti Grei version was issued a short while later and became very popular.
The rarity of the original releases has resulted in copies of the two LPs being much sought after.
In an interview, George Dalaras once described his father as a free man who travelled a lot and seldom spent time at home.
