Father Stratis pays tribute to George Mazonakis with a violin performance
On Andros, a priest known as Father Stratis held a musical tribute to bid farewell to the Greek singer George Mazonakis, with whom he shared a long-standing personal and professional history. Father Stratis, who served as the singer's first violinist during the early years of his career, performed the song "Mou leipeis" (I miss you) to honor their bond.
The tribute highlighted the depth of their relationship, which began before Mazonakis rose to prominence in the Greek folk music scene. Having transitioned from a musician to the priesthood, Father Stratis drew upon their shared past, marking a significant moment of remembrance for the singer's former collaborator and long-time friend.
