Markos Vamvakaris was born on 10 May 1905 in Ano Syros (or Ano Khora), Syros, Greece. His family belonged to the sizeable Roman Catholic community of the island, the "Francosyrians", a name deriving from the colloquial Greek reference to West Europeans collectively as "the Franks".
He learned bouzouki, becoming an innovative virtuoso player, and began to write songs of his own.
