Taki (Demetrios) Dotis was originally a musician, composer and recording artist with a natural talent for playing the Bouzouki. He is now a part of the Greek-American Historical Museum!
After doing recordings in Athens, he played in several movies and Athenian clubs, including the historical HARAMA. Taki played with legendary musicians and composers like Tsitsanis, Papaioanou, Zagoreos and Lafkas. He also accompanied such famous singers as Mitropanos, Florinotis (Euro-Vision, 1975), Rita Sakelario, and Haroula Lambraki. He is historically known as the first Bouzouki musician from Florina and King of the Taxim. Invited to perform for Greek - American audiences, his music led him to Hollywood, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Hawaii, Boston, Toronto, and then to Seattle.
After many years of traveling, he decided to make Seattle his permanent home after marrying Vickie “Kiki” Panagiotopoulos, a third generation American-Greek. They have two sons, Elias and George. Since opening several restaurants, with the first opening in 1984, including two pasta and pizza houses, he revisited his true cultural cuisine with Taki’s Mad Greek in 2001.
Taki and His Mad Greeks Join us Saturday nights for dinner and all types of live Greek music from the legendary Takis Dotis and his Mad Greeks. The band includes Elias Dotis (2005 Lionel Hampton Jazz Solo Artist of the Year), Greek Diva, Elizabeth, Yiannis and Thanasis.
Adding to the live entertainment, we also feature national award winning Belly Dancers. We’ll guide you in Greek dances, if you wish to participate. Due to limited space, the drummer and guitarist join in at special public and private events. Ask us for booking information.
