Early life

They were born in Athens[1] and grew up in the Agios Dimitrios and Nea Smirni area, while they spent their youth working in West Germany.

Initially, they became known from their participation in a music competition in Corfu, organised by Manos Hadjidakis in 1982, where they won the competition with the song "Μια βραδιά στο λούκι". Their first record, "Zesta Pota", was produced in 1985 by Manolis Rasoulis.

Career

In a career spanning 20 years, the brothers have produced their own records featuring their own compositions. They have appeared live in Athens and produced records with other musicians. In 2001 Haris stopped his live performances, unlike Panos. They re-united with a concert at the Olympic Stadium.
