Dimitris Mitropanos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dimitri Mitropanos (Greek: Δημήτρης Μητροπάνος) (born 2 April 1948) is a Greek singer whose renown stems from his mastery of Laïkó, a Greek music style, especially in vogue during the 1950s and 60s.

Dimitri Mitropanos lived in his native city of Trikala in northwest Thessaly until the age of 16, beginning his musical career in 1964. He has worked with some of the best known Greek composers, such as Mikis Theodorakis, Stavros Xarhakos, Manos Hadjidakis, Marios Tokas and Thanos Mikroutsikos and has been one of the top performers of Greek popular music for over three decades.
