« He was always strict and selective. He was looking for good songs, the good lyrics. He sealed all the songs he said, with stability and responsibility. Diamond songs that will not be forgotten. Manolis Lidakis, constant value. But we will be missing a lot, Manolis, your presence and your authenticity … «

Eleni Dimou: My brother why?

Christos Nikolopoulos: I will never forget him

« Really this loss was for me as if a lightning fell. With Manolis Lidakis we had frequent communication. I had a particular weakness and he loved me very much. Whatever I say about him will be a bit. He was a very big singer. I didn't expect and didn't think it would be time to have a need to make a farewell statement for my dear friend.

And I certainly didn't tell him how deeply I appreciated him and loved him. Even for the way of his life and for his expressions, which had a different wisdom for life.

Manolis was a strong personality who escaped the logic of each of us. As a singer he was a rare species and I believe he did not show all his interpretive greatness. His soul was like a young child. I have lived endless hours with him recording many of my songs.

I will never forget him. He loved all people and animals. And especially his dog Sam, who was his company and recently passed away. I will not forget in the previous days a tender moment, when he told me that he feels that without Sam his life is not meaningful. Good paradise Manolis my friend. Warm condolences to all his loved ones, his brother and his sister, « wrote composer Christos Nikolopoulos.

Christos Dantis: Good journey my old man

« I have to remember stories, Manolis … Like when you got down the microphone, you turned it upside down to the floor and you were singing and the whole room was listening to your giant voice. How many discussions, how many laughs … Good trip, my boyfriend, « Christos Dantis wrote on his Instagram post.

Fivos Delivoria: Good trip

For his part, Fivos Delivorias wrote in his own farewell to Manolis Lidakis:

« From the last very big voices of a particular tradition. And from the people who insisted that their repertoire would avoid the second, come from creators, inspirations.

His years next to Kostas Chatzidoulis and Thymio Papadopoulos – his years in Sony – gave him songs enviable for the rest of the folk discography, with lyrics of poetic but not abstract, sound of folk but not predecessors, interpretations of school.

I will remember him in the Thymios studio fighting for the perfect, not listening to the good conversations, looking somewhere away. Good trip. «
