About Bagianteras
Mitsos Gkogkos, more commonly known as Bagianteras, (1903 - 1985) is one of the greatest composers of the pre-war rebetiko. Gkogkos was born in Piraeus in 1903 and died in Athens in 1985. He had a unique style that makes his songs easily recognizable. Unfortunately he became blind in 1941. He continued to play music professionally for several years, but the last years of his life were difficult, because he was not able to work anymore and almost everybody forgot him. His songs are among the best Rebetiko songs ever written.
