“Good night Dionysus”. “Goodbye Nionio”. “Goodbye dear poet”, are some of the short phrases that flooded social networks as soon as the news of the death of Dionysis Savvopoulos became known. Named and anonymous, partners or simple friends, said goodbye to the inimitable artist, the beloved Nionio, through photos, music, lyrics, words of love and emotion that they posted.
“My Dionysus, I can’t realize it, your loss hurts. Thank you for the welcome, for the magic we experienced, for everything you gave me, for everything you taught me. Farewell my hero, farewell magician of the stage, farewell great creator. Your work in the treasures of our culture and certainly in my treasures,” she wrote. Eleftheria Arvanitakiswhile in two sentences o Nikos Portokaloglou expressed all his sorrow: “I have lost both my parents years ago. Today I am orphaned for the third time”
“And as the anniversary of NO is approaching, I say the Greek taste that has…” We will meet again on other frequencies Dionysis, our dear friend. No crying for the maximum,” noted the lyricist Aris Davarakis.
But also organizations, such as Athens International Film Festival Premiere Nights “bowed to the great Dionysis Savvopoulos”, posting, among other things, the following: “With expected sadness but also infinite admiration, and at the same time gratitude for the great things he offered us, the Athens International Film Festival Premiere Nights bows to the great Dionysis Savvopoulos, one of its eternal musical heroes, who said goodbye to us tonight definitively, at the age of 81 years. And we remember the truly moving evening we experienced with him, last May, when the greatest Greek songwriter attended the monumental first screening of the documentary “Cheiro Poly Savvopoulos”, which for 50 years was considered lost, watched the film and then spoke to the audience. It was a screening for which Premiere Nights, and the Athens Open Air Film Festivalthey will always feel proud. From that night, all we have left are the photos and its sweet echo. From Savvopoulos himself we are left with much more, most notably an amazing recording legacy that no songwriter in this country will ever be able to replicate. Nionios prepared it for us, handed it over to us and now he took his little hat and quietly departed”.
