Tribute to the great composer of Smyrna, Panayiotis Toundas in Nicosia 18th January


Petros Kouloumis (vocals, lute), Pavlos Michaelides (violin, vocals) and Pantelis Ionas (guitar, banjo and vocals) welcome you for a special and unique tribute to the great composer of Smyrna, Panayiotis Toundas (1886–1942).

Panayiotis Toundas was a Greek composer of the early 20th century, born in Smyrna. He is probably the most famous representative of the "Smyrna School" and made a notable contribution to the creation of the rebetico style music in Greece. After the Destruction of Smyrna he went to Athens. In 1924 he became director of the local annex of Odeon Records. He worked with all the major record labels in Greece and was responsible for the most recordings of the era. In 1931 he assumed the position of art director for Columbia Records and His Master's Voice until 1940.

Panayiotis Toundas began composing songs in the 1910s and the first song "The divorcee " with Maria Smyrna was recorded in 1919.
