BiographyPsarantonis comes from the mountainous village of Anogeia in Crete which during the WW II was destroyed by the German occupying forces, when he was just two years old. Psarantonis is the younger brother of the late Nikos Xylouris, a notable Cretan singer/musician as well as the older brother of Yiannis Xylouris, an equally notable Cretan musician. Psarantonis is also the father of Cretan musician George Xylouris. Psarantonis is known for the special timbre of his voice and his lyra playing style. Apart from the lyra Psarantonis plays various traditional instruments.[1][2] He first played the lyre at the age of 13 and recorded his first single in 1964, titled "I Thought of Denying You" ({{lang-el|Εσκέφτηκα να σ' αρνηθώ}}). He has released many recordings since then and has represented Greece many times in festivals abroad.[3][4] In May 2005, Psarantonis performed at the World Music Institute's 20th anniversary benefit concert at Town Hall, New York.
