Most are about such things as love; heartbreak; the struggles involved in living and working in foreign lands; poverty; hashish; etc&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Vamvakaris was born in 1905 on the Cycladic island of Syros in the locality known as Ano Syros. At the age of 12, he went to Piraeus, where he learned how to play the bouzouki. In Piraeus, he founded the first rebetika band in Greece.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of WWII, Vamvakaris wrote the most famous of his songs, an example being the classic love song \u201cI Fragkosyriani\u201d about a young Roman Catholic woman from Ano Syros (\u201cfragkos\u201d is a way of referring to Greek Catholics on Syros). Below you can read the lyrics of the song and listen to it.<\/p>\n<p>In 1954, Vamvakaris returned to Ano Syros, where he stayed for a year, playing at the Lili Tavern (the same tavern still exists and is situated near the Markos Vambakaris Museum.)<br \/>\nIn fact, when you attend an Omilo course on the island of Syros, you can always visit the neighborhood where Vamvakaris grew up.<\/p>\n<p>Vamvakaris went back to Piraeus in 1955 and in 1960, his record was released. Well-known Greek singers have been singing his rembetika songs, old and new, to this day.<\/p>\n<p>Markos Vamvakaris died in 1972. His songs are still very popular, with many singers, including Giorgos Dalaras, releasing new versions of Vamvakaris\u2019 songs over the years.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16816\" src=\"https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/omilo-blog-vamvakaris-regular-001-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Vamvakaris\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/omilo-blog-vamvakaris-regular-001-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/omilo-blog-vamvakaris-regular-001-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/omilo-blog-vamvakaris-regular-001.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The song &#8220;Fragkosiriani&#8221;<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One day, so the story goes, when Vamvakaris was playing the bouzouki on the beach, he saw a young woman that he would later sing about in \u201cFragkosiriani,\u201d a song he composed upon his return to Athens.
