Sokratis Malamas in Athens

Sokratis Malamas was born on September 29, 1957 in Sykia, Halkidiki. His parents’ work reasons kept him in Stuttgart, Germany until his teenage years. Then he returned to Thessaloniki. The bouzouki that his father gave him as a gift was his initial stimulus for music. At thirteen he bought his first guitar as a reward for his performance in school lessons and at seventeen he attended guitar lessons at the Macedonian Conservatory of Thessaloniki.
