Giorgos Zampetas, born on January 25, 1925, in Athens, Greece, was a Greek bouzouki musician, composer, and singer. He showed an early interest in music, playing melodies on a bouzouki while helping his father in the barber shop and winning his first prize at seven years old. In 1942, during the German occupation of Greece, he founded his first band after moving to the Egaleo neighborhood of Athens. Zampetas worked extensively in Greek cinema, notably contributing to the film Siko Horepse Sirtaki. He released several albums throughout his career, including Ntokoumenta (1975) and Ap' Ta Kainourgia Sta Palia (1977). Zampetas passed away from bone cancer on March 10, 1992.
