Finally, Nikos Economopoulos made it in Germany! We’ve learned about his upcoming concert at the REX- club (Düsseldorf) almost by an accident, and even when we called at their office, the administration could not answer some questions about the show. There was a sort of a mystery about this Monday night on 30th of April 2012.
It is possible that one of the reasons for half-secrecy of Nikos' performance lies in his incredible popularity, despite the complete absence of an expanded advertising campaign around him internationally.
Nevertheless, on Monday night the club "Rex" in Düsseldorf was packed up. To the great delight of the audience, Nikos gave a show of the highest level, widening the program with some new songs such as "Psakse me", "Kali Kardia", "Poutana stin psichi" from the double platinum album " Tha Eima Edo" (2012), in addition to other favourite tracks from his repertoire gained over the years of singing.
The laiko-music, presented in the solo program by Nikos, was preceded and alternated by the techno and trance mixes of the club's DJ, but this fact did not create any problem for the audience to enjoy the night in full.
Nikos Economopoulos proved again his reputation of the most amazing entertainer and the best beautiful voice bearer. This was a triumphal success.
Before the concert, on the way of writing the advertising article we were using help of some German interpreters. After watching some live videos of Nikos they were surprised, why he is singing only for the Greek audience. Their opinion was he is too good for the shows in small Greek clubs.
Again and again the same question is there: why is Nikos Economopoulos still not being promoted for the international audience? Every time this question is coming out from his constantly appearing new fans from all around the world.

The interview was a part of the Greek Music Week celebration on Radio Sfera 102,2. Natalia Germanou and Nikos (Νίκος Οικονομόπουλος) started their conversation discussing Nikos’ new song «Είναι Κάτι Λαϊκά» - words by Eleni Giannatsoulia and music by George Sabanis - which was chosen as the favorite song by the singers who were taking part in the Greek Music Week on radio Sfera 102,2. They put it on the top of their choice. Nikos expressed his gratitude to them. Nikos also thanked his listeners for loving this song and bringing it to the first place. Even though he liked «Είναι Κάτι Λαϊκά» from the first time, Nikos had some misgivings about it, because this song's music goes beyond the style of laika we've got used to hear from him until today, and the singer did not know how the audience would accept it. For any artist, a change in the repertoire is quite necessary after a number of years. Respecting the opinion of his colleagues in this r...
