Manolis Chiotis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manolis Chiotis (Greek: Μανώλης Χιώτης) was a Greek rebetiko and laiko composer, singer and bouzouki player.[1] He was born on March 21, 1920, in Thessaloniki and died in 1970.[1] He is considered one of the greatest bouzouki soloists of all time. He invented the four-course bouzouki (tetrachordo) and introduced the guitar-like tuning, who found it better suited to the kind of virtuoso playing he was famous for.
