Antonios Katinaris

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antonios Katinaris (Greek: Αντώνιος Κατινάρης) was born in Chania, Crete, the first son of a refugee family from Asia Minor. Since his earliest years he demonstrated his interest and his talent in music. At the age of 16 he was already a music professional. His virtuoso bouzouki-playing made him famous on the popular music stages of Chania.

In the 1960s he went to Athens, where he made his big break into the Greek popular musical scene as a composer. The song What can you do, with only one heart (Greek: Τί να σου Κάνει μια Καρδιά), with lyrics by Eftihia Papagiannopoulou, signaled the start of his national career.
