Dear Greek music lovers,
It is always a regretful experience to give such news about the artists we admire, but unfortunately today, Dimitris Mitropanos, who is one of the greatest musical characters ever throughout the history of Greek music, has passed away. It was known that he had been experiencing severe health problems for the past few years, but such a news is still sudden, shocking and heart-breaking. We remember him singing joyfully along with our beloved Manolis Lidakis and Babis Stokas in 2008 - 2009 in Kentro Athinon, and we will always remember him as such.
You can learn the details of this piece of unhappy news from here:

The only wish for this great artist is that there also would be 'music' wherever he travelled, and his voice would never be forgotten on these lands we keep living.
Kalo taksidi, Kyrios Mitropanos...
