The independent French publishing house Les Fondeurs de Briques has included the Autobiography of Markos Vamvakaris in the collection \u201cInstrumental\u201d dedicated to the popular music of the world. The series includes iconic works – often with an accompanying CD – for blues, flamenco, folk and rock music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book “Moi, Markos” was published in 2024 in France, translated by Nicolas Pallier, also known for the anthology R\u00e9b\u00e9tiko – Chants grecs des bas-fonds (published by A\u00e9ora).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the occasion of this publication, the bookstore \u201cO Meteoritis\u201d, KET and the French house co-organize an evening in two spaces of Kypseli – a journey from speech to music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presentation of the book Moi, Markos<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

free entrance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translator Nicolas Pallier, editor Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Bourdic and publisher Virginie Girard present the French translation of the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 50 years after its first publication, this text remains one of the most vivid documents on the history of rebetiko: from the life of the young Vamvakaris in Syros and Piraeus, in the tequettes and his recording success, to the years of the Occupation, the Civil War and his personal adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark’s words – simple, bitter and self-deprecating – shed light on both the popular experience and the darker aspects of a rare journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was born in 1988 in Melbourne. He lived his childhood in Koroni, Messinia. He started to be involved in music from a very young age. After high school he returned to Australia to study Civil Engineering and at the same time started to play bouzouki professionally. Since the end of 2012 he has been living permanently in Athens. He has collaborated with Babis Goles, Agathon Iakovidis, Dimitra Galani and others, and was a member of the band Rebetien. For the last five years he has been participating in the \u201cVassilis Tsitsanis Orchestra\u201d under the direction of Manolis Pappos, as well as in Stavros Xarchakos’ performance \u201cRebetiko – 40 years later\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
