Secular Music Of Greek Antiquity (1994)

Petros Tabouris was born in Athens in 1967 and studied both music and information technology (the latter at the National Technical University of Athens). From a very young age he showed an interest in Greek music and instruments used in popular music. After discovering Byzantine ecclesiastical music and the theory of Greek popular music, and meeting musicians, he became involved in composition and research. In the 2000s, Tabouris released many records in Greece and in Europe and has made a study of ancient and medieval/post-Byzantine music and instruments used in Greek popular music.

He has supervised series of digitally remastered 78 rpm recordings of Greek light music, rebetiko, Smyrna and folk songs, and has worked on recordings of traditional music of Balkan peoples and Greek folk songs.
