The Municipality of Moutsis died

The great composer died at the age of 85. The songs of the composer Municipality of Moutsis who marked whole seasons sang artists such as Gregory Bithikotsis, Vicky Moschoulos, Manolis Mitsias, Dimitra Galanis. The Municipality of Moutsis was born in Piraeus and began studying at the Athens Conservatory from the age of 7. It all began in 1967 when the great Nikos Gatsos gave his lyrics to Mutsis and thus wrote his first songs. Mutsi’s first song was “God Rains” . He had written the music first and politely asked Nico Gatso if he wanted to put the lyrics, as it happened. This song was performed by Stamatis Kokotas. The collaboration Gatsou and Mutsis continued with songs such as “Don’t knock at midnight on the door”, “Piraiotissa” with the same performer, “I saw you in the eyes” with Vicky Mossyliou. In 1969 with “Tomorrow again” performed by Gregory Bithikotsis, “With a complaint” with Bithikotsis as well as the first appearing Manolis Mitsias (the first performance of the song was by Mitsias in the film “A dude in the living rooms”. In 1970 Manos Hatzidakis commissioned the Municipality of Moutsis, the care of the orchestration and musical direction of his songs on the album “Return”. All in lyrics Nikos Gatsou and with performers Gregory Bithikotsis and the first appearing then Dimitra Galanis. And came the “Saint February”, recorded in late 1971 and released early 1972. In the lyrics Manos Eleftheriou and performers Dimitris Mitropanos and Petri Salpea. A very important work that seals this whole first period, even opening with this work, as it turned out in retrospect, new roads in Greek discography. In the album “Saint February” apart from the song of the same name we will listen to other major songs such as: “And if it’s anyone’s fault,” “The house in the uphill”, “The sousta was going forward”, “Other for Chios drew” and more.
