Napoleon Damos
Traditional Clarinet

He was born in a family of musicians, whose origins take us to the village of Kourenda, in the area of Ioannina (Ipirus, Western Greece). From his early age, he used to listen to traditional musicians who visited his village and soon developed his inner inclination and talent for music as a self taught musician. He collaborated with various talented clarinet players. Napoleon Damos preserves the musical tradition of his area, playing in the style and mode that characterise Ipirus and creating at the same time a large scale of improvisations. He is considered to be one of the most important traditional players of modern Greece.
