Who really was Nikos Gounaris and what enabled him to be accepted by everyone? What is it that launched and maintained his legend well beyond the confines of his genre, light song? The famous rebetiko musician Yiannis Papaioannou writes in his autobiography: “Of those so-called ‘Europeans’, only one is perfect. Gounaris. This kid is ours. He started with rebetiko, he appreciates us and we appreciate him”.
