# Manolis Chiotis

> Manolis Chiotis was a Greek composer, singer and bouzouki virtuoso who played a decisive role in the transition from rebetiko to post-war laïko music. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in 20th-century Greek popular music and is generally credited with introducing and popularising the four-course bouzouki in the mid-1950s, a development that reshaped the technique, sound and social status of the instrument in modern Greek music.
