Salvu Pace Is-Sulari
was born on the 2nd February 1947. He hails from Tarxien and was considered as one of the għana stalwarts of the mid-Seventies and Eighties.
He grew up in the folk music environment, tailing his maternal uncle is Leli Azzopardi Il-Bugazz to events all over Malta, but mostly at Lucy Casha's outlet in Il-Belt il-Ġdida, Ġolin Axisa Ta' Kostanza, Fredu Abela Il-Bamboċċu's brother in Żabbar and at Karmena tal-Marsa, where Sunday late afternoon sessions were held as soon as the horseraces were over.
Maltese have a habit of describing someone quite the opposite of what he is, and he earned the nickname Is-Sulari, literally 'storeys', due to his diminutive size when compared with the more corpulent singers like Pawlu Degabriele Il-Bies and Żeppi Meli Ta' Sika.
As a young ten-year old boy Salvu used to spend time in the fields of Tal-Bajjad, nowadays Santa Luċija, with his shepherd friend tending goats - Tarxien was noted for its goats - and it was here that he practiced his first lines.
