Dimitris Gogos, bouzouki player, song writer, also known as Bagianteras, was born in Piraeus in 1903 and died in Athens in 1985.
He was one of the greatest composers of the pre-war rebetiko. His friendship with Batis, Markos and Stratos and the fact that he was a talented artist, gave him the opportunity to record many songs during the pre-war era. He had a unique style that makes his songs easily recognizable. Unfortunately he became blind in 1941. He continued to play music professionally for several years, but the last years of his life were difficult, because he was not able to work anymore and almost everybody forgot him.
