Marina Satti is going through very difficult times, as her father passed away, Ali Osman Satti, at the age of 68. Information says that she was facing a serious health problem, without further details being released. Born on January 1, 1956 in Sudan, Marina Satti’s father, who was an anesthesiologist, arrived in Greece in 1972 and studied medicine. He was an Associate Professor at the National Kapodistrian School from 1983 to 1989 and a professor of anesthesiology at the National Medical School of Athens from 1989 to 1995.
The singer who will represent Greece at the 68th Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden in 2024 with the song “Zari”, in an earlier interview, had mentioned her beloved father.
Speaking on the “Studio 4” show, the singer had said: “My mom grew up in Crete, my dad grew up in Sudan, he came to Athens as a student and that’s how they met. There are differences as you understand and they still exist. I think they managed to find a balance because of love, and then we, the children, came along. I admire my mom for that, for her unruly character. Growing up I realize I say “wow, magic”. My dad was the first black person my grandmother saw.”

Marina Satti had then added: “Growing up and looking at photos recently, I saw some images that justify a lot of things in the rest of my life. Like the images from Sudan, with the family, with the aunts, a very intense mix. I used to go to Sudan in the summers. The family there received me even more warmly than they received him in Greece. Sudanese culture was my normality. Let’s say that we come there from a country where we are somewhat ahead of some things. Also, it was the family of “the man in Sudan».
