About Georges Moustaki

Georges Moustaki, born Giuseppe Mustacchi, was an Egyptian-French singer-songwriter of Greek-Jewish origin. He was born on 3 May 1934 in Alexandria, Egypt, and died on 23 May 2013. His parents, Sarah and Nessim Mustacchi, were Francophile Greek Jews from the Romaniote community, originally from the island of Corfu, and they owned the Cité du Livre bookshop in Alexandria.

Moustaki and his two older sisters spoke Italian at home and Arabic in the streets, and their parents placed them in a French school, where he learned to speak French. At the age of 17, after a summer holiday in Paris, he began his life in France. He wrote about 300 songs for some of the most popular singers in France, including Édith Piaf, Dalida, Françoise Hardy, Yves Montand, Barbara, Brigitte Fontaine, France Gall, Juliette Gréco and Tino Rossi, as well as for himself.
