Dimitris Mitropanos (Greek: Δημήτρης Μητροπάνος) (2 April 1948 – 17 April 2012) was a Greek singer. He was renowned for his mastery of Laïkó, a Greek music style.
Mitropanos lived in his native city of Trikala in northwest Thessaly until the age of 16, beginning his musical career in 1964.
He worked with some of the best known Greek composers, such as Mikis Theodorakis,Stavros Xarhakos, Giorgos Zabetas , Manos Hadjidakis, Marios Tokas and Thanos Mikroutsikos, and was one of the top performers of Greek popular music for over four decades.
From an early age Mitropanos worked summers to help his family financially. First as a waiter in his uncle's restaurant and later at ribbon cutting wood. After the third grade of junior high, in 1964, he went to Athens to live with his uncle in the Acharnon street. Before finishing high school he began working as a singer.
At the same age, after the encouragement of Grigoris Bithikotsis, whom he met at a gathering at his uncle's company at which he sang, Mitropanos visited Columbia. There, Takis Lampropoulos introduced him το Giorgos Zampetas, with whom he worked alongside at "Ksimeromata." Mitropanos considered Giorgos Zampetas to be a great teacher and a second father to himself. As he stated, ' Zambetas is the only man in the song which helped me not to expect anything. With all my other colleagues got something and gave something» . In 1966 Mitropanos met Mikis Theodorakis and sang the party songs "Romiosini "and" Axion Esti "in a series of concerts in Greece and Cyprus.
Sei quel freddo vento che ti trascina via
Scura come il buio di cui mi taglier?
Vivi in una triste straordinaria bugia
Che non so pi? smettere di nascondere
Come un lungo abbaglio resti negli occhi miei
Scivoli ed oscilli sola ed instabile
Sei la cruda scossa che provare vorrei
Voglio ricordarmi la tua velocit?
Che sia violenta amica mia la notte scivola via sei quello che vorrei
Che sia distratta amica mia la notte ? pura follia che non ricorderai
Morbida inquietudine, non so stare senza te
Che sia violenta amica mia la notte scivola via sei quello che vorrei
