Gautier has expressed many times his love for Greece, especially since he has been visiting the country many times in the past.

When asked what he loves the most about Greece, he said: “Whatever people love the most about Greece: the light, the way of living, the Greeks, the “bouzoukia” music, Nana Mouschouri, Melina Mercouri, Irene Papas.”

This statement by Jean Paul Gautier confirms that bouzoukia music and laika songs are among the most renowned  genres of Greek Music, very popular among foreigners and visitors in Greece.
