Being informed of it death of the Municipality of Moutsisthe Minister of Culture Lina Mendoni made the following statement:

THE Municipality of Moutsis, left today, “looking for a way out, looking for a different life”. One of the most important composers of the post-war era, with an irreplaceable and recognized contribution to the renewal of Greek song. With a solid musical education, he leaves behind a work with a wide range, characterized by the continuous processing of his expressive means and by a constant experimentation in new sounds, ending up, very often, in an impeccable osmosis of the popular with the contemporary. Dimos Moutsis set to music, with great success, the works of leading contemporary poets and collaborated with the leading performers and lyricists of his time, before taking on these roles himself, marking the remarkable turn in his creative path. His songs sometimes tune in to the collective demands of society, especially in the 1970s, and sometimes take on a more personal, sometimes almost solitary, tone, composing a body of work that was justly embraced by the public, gaining prominence in contemporary music creation. I express my deepest condolences to his family.
