His Tango compositions have met with international acceptance and he was recognized internationally for his successful ‘Habanera’, and for his collections "European Taxim".

Φυγάς”, voice & lyrics by Eirini
Toumpaki.) Marios Strofalis is as well the composer of the original music for the Greek period drama series "Porto Leone: In the Neighborhood of Red Lanterns".
