THE MARKOS VAMVAKARIS EXHIBITION

MEMORABILIA-EXPERIENCES

The Markos Vamvakaris Exhibition consists of two sections: Memorabilia and Experiences.

The two units are presented, respectively, in two buildings located in Piazza, the center of Ano Syros in a short distance from each other. Chronologically and conceptually, the Memorabilia section (1995)  precedes and the Experiences section follows.

The voice of Markos Vamvakaris succeeded in familiarizing us with the beauties of Syros with the famous song “Frangosyriani”, thus showing his love for his homeland. To honour the works of this exceptional composer, the people of Syros founded the Markos Vamvakaris Exhibition- Memorabilia in a renovated traditional home in Ano Syros and the section Experiences in two halls situated at a short distance, where visitors can be taken back in time through the voice, the lyrics, the personal belongings, the photos and the manuscripts of the famous composer. Starting from the statue situated at the port of Ermoupolis, the bust and the Exhibition on Ano Syros, a great tribute has been paid to the “Patriarch of Rebetiko music”.
