And today in the Holy church of Peter and Paul in the cemetery of Palei Faliros, his family and close friends and associates say their last goodbye to a man who really left his mark on the area.
Kostas Karousakis was born in Agios Georgios Sykousis, in Chios, on Christmas Day 1943. He was a Greek folk singer, lyricist, composer and former businessman. Stelios Chrysini was discovered, he worked close to Panos Gavalas, Tsitsanis and Sotiria Bellou.
The singer’s name was inextricably linked to the case of Nikos Koemtzis, which shook the Greek court records in the middle of the junta and this was a fact that bothered him a lot.
In 1974 he opened his own center “Karousakis” in the Tzitzifies region of Attica. Many popular singers of the time and others who were at the beginning of their career passed through his shop. Some of these names are Rena Violanti, Antipas, Katerina Stanisi, Naya Troni, Pizza Papadopoulou, Kiki Asimakopoulou, Christina Alexopoulou, Marina Vlahaki, Kostas Kollias, Spyros Denaxas, Errika Broyer’s ballet, Teris Chrysos, Angela Dimitriou and many others .
Several of those who started their careers in his shop are today at the cemetery of Palaio Faliros to say goodbye to him and express their support to his family, his wife Iulis, his children and grandchildren who are devastated by the loss.
