Basil "Baz" Kouriakis
was born in Athens, Greece in 1949, and he spent the late sixties
touring with the traditional Folk quartet Ta Vea Tambouras. His
instrument of choice is the santouri -- a very unique instrument
that you will hear on many of his recordings. Fast-forward to the
present day, and Baz has become a successful composer and recording
artist whose music has appeared in many TV shows, including Cyprus 2
Cyprus, The Greco Review, How to Live Today, and others. Embracing
the latest recording technology, Baz brings us authentic Greek music
of the highest quality.
