Maria Katinari (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Maria Katinari was born in Chania on Crete as the oldest daughter of Antonios Katinaris. She is a Greek actress, singer and lyricist. Due to her father being a well-known, very successful composer and a highly gifted Bouzouki-soloist and her mother Maria Rippi being a singer from a musical family, Katinari got early stage experience. In a short phase of her juvenile rebellion against the rembetiko tradition of the family, she joined a rock music group at the age of 13. Three years later, she began to travel during school-holidays as a singer through Europe. She performed live at clubs in the Netherlands, England and Germany. In Paris she studied kinesiology and dance, whereby she financed her studies and living costs with her music.
