| Folk Arts - Master Artist - Christos Govetas
Christos Govetas was born in the Greek village of Proti and immigrated to the United States in 1978. Now living in Puyallup, Washington, Govetas continues to carry on his culture as a traditional Greek musician playing the bouzouki, laouto, oud, clarinet and zourna as well as performing vocals. He has performed throughout the U.S., Canada, and Greece, and regularly in the Seattle area with a group called Pangeo. As well as performing, Govetas also teaches younger generations in the Seattle area Greek community traditional songs and dances, and how to play the traditional instruments in hopes that the folk music of Greece will be carried on.
