 There were many touching and unforgettable moments during the evening, such as a performance of the songs together with their authors. One was on stage, when Nikos sang loved by many ballade "Pou Tha Me Pas" along with Goergos Sabanis, another one was in the hall, when Nikos approached the lyricist Nikos Vaxavanelis and proposed him a microphone. Old friend of the singer, Vaxavanelis did not hesitate to sing a few lines from the very  popular "Etsi nomiseis" - a track from the second album of Nikos Economopoulos "Akousa"...

On the top of everybody's pleasure, the singer presented to the public a new work by Eleni Giannatsoulia and Panos Kapiris "Ennoiete", which made the audience completely delighted!

Nikos Economopoulos with this album and all his other records made a huge investment to the Greek musical culture, the evidence could be a letter, received from one American reader, Mr Stan Pamel, from New York. This letter was sent to one of the popular Nikos Economopoulos Fan’s FB pages straight after the Multi-platinum award night.

Here it is in two languages:

"I enjoy your music a lot! I am an American of Greek descent. I do not speak much Greek, but your music has renewed my interest in learning the Greek language. I also appreciate how you talk about your faith in God. It has been a long time since I was in Greece. I hope to come back someday to see you singing!

Best wishes! "

“Απολαμβάνω τη μουσική σας πολλά! Είμαι ένας Αμερικανός ελληνικής καταγωγής. Δεν μιλώ πολύ ελληνικά, αλλά η μουσική σας έχει ανανεώσει το ενδιαφέρον μου για την εκμάθηση της ελληνικής γλώσσας. Εκτιμώ, επίσης, πώς μιλάτε για την πίστη σας στο Θεό. Έχει περάσει πολύς καιρός από τότε που ήμουν στην Ελλάδα. Ελπίζω να επανέλθω κάποια μέρα να σας δω να τραγουδήσει!

Τις καλύτερες ευχές μου!”
