Márkos Vamvakáris
(Greek: Μάρκος Βαμβακάρης; born May 10, 1905 in Ano Syros, or Ánō Khōra, on Syros Island; died February 8, 1972 in Athens, Greece),
was a rebetiko musician.
He is universally referred to by rebetiko writers and fans simply by his first name, Márkos.
The great significance of Vamvakaris for the rebetiko is also reflected by his nickname:
the "patriarch" of the rebetiko"
