Dimitris Margiolas

Dimitris Margiolas was born in Naxos in a family of great musicians, but he grew up in Athens where as a high school student he was already playing bouzouki and lute in traditional and island music bands, while he started attending classes of musical theory at the National Conservatoire of Athens with many remarkable. At the same time, he learns the art of tzouras and mandolin, without ever separating from his great love, the bouzouki. The Greek record industry was soon to discover his great talent and in 1971 his participation in Dimos Moutsis’ "Agios Fevrouarios" gave him his first great chance.
