'''Manolis Chiotis''' was a [[Greek music]] legend and innovator.

He was born in [[1920]] in [[Thessaloniki]], to a well-to-do family that hailed from [[Nafplio]]. At an early age he learned and mastered the guitar and the [[bouzouki]].

In [[1936]], he makes his first appearance in [[Athens]], alongside [[rebetiko]] singer [[Stratos Payoumtzis]], who takes him under his wing. Success soon follows for the young singer who becomes the first to master the 4-chord bouzouki. He is also the first Greek to perform with an electric guitar which he purchased from a French group on tour.

During his lifetime, Chiotis married three times, all three marriages to singers:

*[[Zoe Nachi]]
*[[Mary Linda]]
*[[Beba Kyriakidou]]

His second marriage created perhaps the best duo in Greek music history. Together with Mary Linda, Manolis Chiotis creates the refined "Archontorebetiko" (posh rebetiko) style that is accepted into high-class homes where the old-style rebetiko was not, as it was deemed low-class.

Chiotis passed away on [[March 21]], [[1970]], at the age of 50.
