Stamatis Gonidis' visit to THEA



Last weekend a prominent Greek laiko singer Stamatis Gonidis visited Athens' popular nightclub THEA, where he enjoyed a performance of Nikos Economopoulos.

The friendship between these two singers lasts since the very first steps of Nikos on the big stage. Stamatis Gonidis started supporting Nikos Economopoulos as early as in 2006, when he approved the young and unknown yet participant and winner –to –be of the “Dream Show -2”. Later they had collaboration on stage and even recorded a duet for the Nikos ‘triple platinum album “Doro Gia Sena”. The track “I agapi einai tragoudi” (“Love is the song”) became one of the big successes of the album.

Of course, Nikos expressed his joy to see the master at his concert and proposed him a microphone.
Gonidis sang his hit “Diomisi” (Two and a half”), which roused the wave of the enthusiasm of the audience.

Nikos greeted Stamatis Gonidis with the following words:
"I am very happy to see you! You are one of not that many artists who come to my every new show, wherever I sing, who come to see me"

Gonidis in his turn said:

“Niko, dude, I love you. You're one of my favorite guys.
Friends, have a good relaxing summer, winter and let Good help us!”

  Οδός Μοναξιάς ~ Loneliness Street Music: George Sabanis Lyrics: Eleni Giannatsoulia First performance/digital single by  Nikos Oikonomopoulos The day turns to night And Monday is gone The weather is as gloomy As feelings in my heart You cast your longlines Into  the deep darkness Your light is infinite But I am not in it I close my eyes But sleep is shattered My woe has brought me  To your street Your silence Is called treason It throws me again Into a whirl of anger. Оn the Loneliness Street in the early hours On the broken roadside bench I engrave again two our names And I think I live, but I don't breathe.   On the Loneliness Street at dawn I need to learn how not to wait You forgot us, our wonders  and me On the lonely street at dawn... People pass by Back and forth But there are no steps  Which sound like yours   Someone is running nearby She has your perfume But it's  just an illusion You are nowhere seen I close my eyes But sleep is shattered My woe has brought me  To

Nikos Oikonomopoulos’ First Australian Tour is a Triumph

Image
Everything that transpired during Nikos Oikonomopoulos’ maiden tour turned out like a miracle:   here was a young singer who arrived at the green continent for the first time in his life, coming as a major artist and not as an addition to a more mature, established star.    Adding to the intrigue was the fact that this Greek singing sensation was not widely known in the Australian Greek community.  Many people were asking when they saw the publicity promoting his coming performances – “Who is this guy?”                                           However, two large venues at Sydney (Enmore Theatre, November, 2, 2012) and Melbourne (Westgate Complex, November, 5, 2012) were completely sold out:  the front table tickets, which were quite expensive ($300 for one sit) were all gone a month before the tour. But the major miracles occurred at the concerts:  Nikos stunned his audiences with the beauty of his voice, his performance skills and his irresistible natural charism
