Sakis Rouvas is looking for the idols of another era in the documentary series Idols, each Friday at 21:00, in SKAI.
Faces – idols that shaped their own universe. Unconventional personalities who set their own limits and exceeded them. Everything we would like to know about our idols. Personalities who stigmatized Greece with their professional course, their personal life, their ideas and even with their death.
The Friday, December 3, the Idols episode is dedicated to Dimitris Mitropanos.
Watch the trailer:
The heavy but also sensitive folk voice that seems to sing the collective melody of being Greek, the boy who grew up poor and manly against the current and the singer who gave magic by meeting his teachers.
THE Sakis Rouvas unfolds the unique personality of Dimitris Mitropanos from his childhood full of deprivation in the Holy Monastery of Trikala in the 50’s until the dawn of his star and the universal acceptance.
The poor childhood years with his mother and sister, the acquaintance with a father, who he considered lost in the Civil War, shortly before the age of 30, but also his membership in the Communist Party and the Lambraki Youth. The first songs, at the age of 16 next to the teacher Zambetas, the meeting with Mikis Theodorakis in the 60’s but also the next collaborations with Dimos Moutsis, Manos Eleftheriou and Thanos Mikroutsikos.
Elias Benetos talks to Idols about Dimitris Mitropanos stating that he made his dream come true at a very young age since at the age of just 24 he sang “AGIOS FEBRUARY”. Margarita Mytilineou comments that the experiences of Mitropanos’s life and his difficult childhood years wrote in his soul and in the way he sang. Vangelis Korakakis confesses his ardent desire to collaborate with the heavy, taciturn Dimitris Mitropanos.
Babis Stokas characteristically mentions that Mitropanos could pass into the souls of people with his voice.
Lakis Papadopoulos also talks about the reasons that made him stand out, while Dimitris Bassis mentions that some of his songs, such as “Alimono” or “Akou, echo foni” should not be sung by anyone else.
Apart from his career, Dimitris Mitropanos was a rare personality as a person, as a style, as a besa, as a man, as a family, as a friend, says George Merantzas.
A simple and everyday person, he loved Olympiakos and football and had countless stories about his favorite team as characteristically mentioned by Achilleas Aslanidis and Antonis Karpetopoulos.
Most of all, however, he loved his family and his two daughters.
The journey of a real idol whose voice still resonates in the ears of Greeks in “Idols” with Sakis Rouvas, on Friday, December 3 at 21.00, on SKAI.
