Ritmu Roots Festival - An Introduction to Cretan Laouto

Giorgos Manolakis, hailing from Heraklion, Crete, embarked on his musical journey at the tender age of 8, under the tutelage of his father, Kostas Zacharopoulos, a renowned lauoto virtuoso of his time. At 14, he expanded his repertoire by delving into the intricacies of the bouzouki, honing his skills under the guidance of esteemed masters of the instrument. Today, Giorgos stands as a preeminent virtuoso of his generation, revered for his mastery of both the laouto and the bouzouki. In this presentation, Giorgos will explore the enduring significance and his virtuosity on the laouto within the cultural tapestry of Cretan music, drawing upon his own expertise and experience.
