Pan-Hellenic emotion was spread by the news of the death of the 77-year-old award-winning composer Notis Mavroudis, who passed away on the evening of January 3, 2023.

In one of his “Arion”-awarded records, “Café de l’art Vol. 6”, Notis Mavroudis and his partner, Panagiotis Margaris, arranged the famous song of Dr. John “Litanie des Saints” (Litanie of the Saints), in a dreamy guitar duet.

Dr. John (Malcolm John Rebennack), a quirky American jazz and blues composer born and raised in New Orleans, released in 1992 Litanie des Saints, one of the most beautiful songs ever written, thanks to its traveling, ethnic melody in rhythm tango and in the lyrics in an African dialect, in which French Creole and elements of some Spanish dialect are mixed.

The New Orleans legend – with six Grammys and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee – passed away in June 2019, aged 77.
