Greek News Agenda bids farewell to the great song-writer and composer Dionysis Savvopoulos, who passed away today at the age of 81.

When Dionysis Savvopoulos burst onto the Greek music scene in the early sixties, his highly original songs defied classification. There were no precedents in the music genres then common in Greece. He was initially seen as part of the ‘new wave’ group of composers and singers who emerged at that time and who were influenced by their French counterparts. But Savvopoulos created a genre all his own with his mix of modern and traditional rhythms and with his lyrics at times tender, at times playful and at times filled with biting social criticism.

"Women’s writing overturns the certainties of the patriarchal world and challenges the authoritarian, anti-democratic, fascist movements that are rising globally, abolishing public goods, fundamental rights, identity and gender policies, even withdrawing “disturbing” books."
