Rembetika revival pioneer Apostolos Nikolaidis was the first Greek singer to perform and record the authentic, "prohibited" rembetika songs in the early 1970s in their original form, captivating audiences around the world with his powerful voice, commanding stage presence, distinct charisma and one-of-a-kind personality.
With the release of the classic 1973 album "Otan Kapnizi O Loulas", Apostolos etched the rembetiko, a type of music previously in decline for almost two decades in Greece, permanently into the Greek national consciousness.
Regarded by many as having one of the best voices that ever graced the Greek music scene, Apostolos is considered one of the last great authentic singers of the "old school." He passed on in 1999, but his legacy and contribution to Greek music are enduring and he will live forever in the hearts and minds of those he touched with his generosity, his kindness, his humor and his beautiful voice.
