Fotis Polymeris

Fotis Polymeris (20 February 1920, in Patras – 28 May 2013, in Athens), born as Fotis Palymeris, was a Greek guitarist, singer and composer.^[1]

He is considered amongst the most successful representatives of the "early popular" Greek songs with a personal trobadour-style. He wrote lyrics and music for over 100 songs and collaborated with the most significant composers of this style. Also, Polymeris' music is heard in several Greek films.

Later he co-worked also with people from rebetiko-style music, such as Vassilis Tsitsanis.
