About Κώστας Ρούκουνας
Κώστας Ρούκουνας (Kostas Roukounas; 1903-1984) was a Greek singer. His repertoire included both "traditional" (δημοτικά) and "popular" songs (λαϊκά). Most notable is his contribution to the subgenre of rembetiko (ρεμπέτικο). Roukounas is generally known as a singer; however he was also a songwriter. Born on the island of Samos on 1903, he came from a poor family and thus had to start working from the age of eight, initially at a cigarette manufacturing business and later as a carpenter.
