Dessutom har han ju sjungit med Dalaras i en underbar livekonsert
Dalaras live at Iera ODo II (1998).

På hans officiella site står bland annat följande biografiska fakta:

"Mario Frangoulis's remarkable story belies the fact that he is a
young tenor from Greece. Born in Africa Ð in colonial Rhodesia, as
it was becoming the nation of Zimbabwe Ð he survived a childhood
marked by hardships both at home and in the world outside. At the
age of four, his mother found a home for him with her sister in
Greece, at a time when the political situation in Africa was
explosive and dangerous. Raised by his aunt in Greece and separated
from his beloved older brother, Mario was surrounded with a large
extended family. Today, he speaks fondly of both sets of parents
and the feeling for music they instilled in him. He studied the
violin and even composed a bit when he was a boy. At the age of
17, he was sent to London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama
to study acting. The stage was an obvious choice because, among
other things, Mario was considered handsome enough to be a
matinee idol. In fact, he has already wowed audiences on London's
West End as the dashing young hero in both Les MisŽrables and
The Phantom of the Opera."

Nej, i en artikel i TheKarpathian om hans nyutgivna självbiografi står det:

"The Kassos native tenor Marios Frangoulis has published his biography book "Ο ΜAΡΙΟΣ Κ' ΕΓΩ""

Där ser man, från Kassos, minsann!
