Multi-talented musician and one of the best rebetiko singers. Of Italian nationality, he came from a musical family which came to Piraeus in 1918. In 1922 he settled in Drapetsona, where his father, who played the violin, opened a musical instrument manufacturing workshop. With the insistence of Vangelis Papazoglou and Stellakis Perpiniadis, he appeared on stage as a singer in 1934 and in 1935 recorded his first album with "Seretis " by Iakovos Montanaris. Kostas Skarvelis chose him as his main singer and entrusted him with 48 of the approximately 70 songs that Giorgos Kavouras recorded in his discography Giorgos Kavouras died on February 20, 1943, after suffering a stroke while playing in the shop of his friend Stellakis Perpiniadis in Chaidari.
