George Sapounidis
Yiorgos Sapounidis better known as George Sapounidis is a Greek Canadian musician / troubadour, statistician and a Sinophile living in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He was also subject of 2005 Canadian documentary film entitled ''Chairman George''. The documentary, directed by Daniel Cross and Mila Aung-Thwin and produced by EyeSteelFilm in association with CTV,〔(CTV page on the Chairman George documentary )〕 BBC's "Storyville" series〔(BBC Storyville page on the documentary )〕 and TV2, tells the story of Sapounidis as a musician popular in China campaigning for approval to perform at the closing ceremonies of 2004 Athens Olympics when the flag was to be given to Beijing for organizing the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In addition to Greek and Mandarin Chinese, he sings in more than five other languages.
Yet, by day, this Montreal-born, Ottawa-based folksinger is a graduate from University of Toronto earning a PhD in Mathematical Statistics. He recently retired from Statistics Canada to concentrate on his music.
==Early musical career==
Sapounidis founded his multicultural band "Ouzo Power"〔(Story of Ouzo Power and biography of its members )〕 in 1988, giving a new spin to Greek music on the Canadian scene, bringing in jazz elements and translating the songs of the likes of Bob Dylan and Led Zeppelin into Greek for audiences at folk and multicultural music festivals as well as CBC Television and CBC Radio producing two albums, including a successful CD of international folk songs.
Although he has been performing regularly at all manner of folk festivals, awards ceremonies, multicultural events, variety shows and special events as well as on Canadian radio and television for over 20 years, it's George Sapounidis' concert tours of China that have catapulted him to stardom in China.
