The final “goodbye” to Marinella was said at the Athens Cathedral by crowds of people, paying tribute to the great performer. Particularly moving was the moment when George Dalaras delivered the eulogy in honor of Marinella, who passed away on Saturday 28/03, at the age of 87. Specifically, George Dalaras delivered the second eulogy after Haroula Alexiou, emphasizing that “for me, my second mother died, who took me by the hand since I was a child”.
George Dalaras for Marinella: Safe travels mother
“You didn’t die the day before yesterday, you departed, you flew above Herodes Atticus like an ancient tragedy actress, like Hecuba,” the musician emphasized. “Is there anyone who doesn’t know you? Who doesn’t know your songs? Your journey? You opened doors, you broke down castles, you were revolutionary and persistent until the end. You were a role model for new generations. I want to remind you that you achieved something incredible: your backing vocals sounded like lead vocals,” he said afterwards. “Safe travels mother and good luck wherever you go,” he declared emotionally.
