About
Panos Gavalas was a titan of the Laïkó genre, known for his velvety voice and his prolific partnership with Ria Kourti. He was a pioneer who founded his own record label to protect artistic freedom. In 2025, a major tribute concert in Piraeus honored his contribution to the urban folk sound. By 2026, he is remembered as a dignified "gentleman" of the stage whose songs like "Sigano Psalo" defined the post-war era.
