Dimitrios Bibasis (Δημήτριος Μπιμπάσης), better known by his stage name Dimitris Basis (Δημήτρης Μπάσης), is a Greek singer and musician.
He came to Greece for the first time at the age of eight when his entire family returned to Cherso, a small village south of the border with the Socialist Republic of Macedonia.
When he was twenty years old just after his first steps in professional singing he was discovered by Stamatis Kraounakis and Warner Music company, who immediately offered him a contract.
His professional debut began with his participation in two of Stamatis Kraounakis works: “Otan Erhonde I Fili mou” where he sang two songs and in the soundtrack of the T.V.
In the next season he worked with Dimitra Galani and Manolis Lidakis and by the end of 1998 his second personal album “Se Anihtous Ouranous” is ready (music by Christos Nikolopoulos and lyrics by Aris Davarakis, Eleni Giannatsoulia).
From the first date of its release it gained the acceptance of public and critics who admired Basis’ music personality one more time.
The poems (“Epitaphios, Romiosini, Ta Dekaohto Lianotragouda tis Pikris Patridas, I Piites tou Kosmou) were composed by Mikis Theodorakis.
In December 2003 he started a very successful collaboration with Manolis Lidakis in Thessaloniki which continued with additional appearances in Athens and in summer concerts all over Greece.
At the same time he was working on his new CD with the title “Diskoli Kardia” (music by Nikos Antipas and lyrics by Lina Nikolakopoulou, Mirto Kontova) which was released in December 2004.
The cd of their live appearances in "Akti Pireos" released in April with the title "Iparhi ke to Zeimbekiko".
