Thank you all so far... but please, still some more detective work to solve the Maria Iakobou -enigma [αίνιγμα] )

One more addition: also in the middle of the first set Maria Iakobou sang alone at least one song - I think it was Sta nera na perpatisw by Eleftheria Arvanitaki. Please comment this, cause I'm not quite sure of it...

I guess there were three songs by Maria in the beginning of the second set: the first one I didn't hear (ok, ok - I was having a beer in the bar) but the second was Gia ton mation sou to xroma from Eleftheria Arvanitaki's Ekpompi -album. And after that came Dynata, dynata.

He did it again in Stockholm 20.10.2001

In the Stockholm concert this young talent, Maria Iakobou was doing very well - not only in background vocals but also in her solo numbers. Another mysterious lady with extremely beautiful voice is Anna Mpourma who sings "To zeimpekiko kormi sou" in H asfaltos pou trexei. Perhaps somebody has some basic information about these two artists - any recordings so far, websites, biography, who are they, where do they come from, anything...

I found it simply by writing "dalaras" in the Evenemang-field in http://www.ticnet.se and then clicked "Sök". The only result was this particular concert in Solna.

It seems to be possible to get tickets also via internet at http://www.ticnet.se , but they cost 20 SEK more. They let people in at 18:00 so better be there in time ;O)

You can also find some lyrics for Alexiou-songs here: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Palladium/1088/

Was there anything about a concert in Finland in Difono? If there will be no concert here I could come to Stockholm. It's unbelievable how late the concert schedule is announced - it's only a few days to 20th!

There are links to four net-tv channels in the front page of www.melbournegreeks.com Also please take a look at www.greekboston.com media section www.greekboston.com/media.shtml

Today, I might say my favourite is "Ta prota logia" Live version with Israel Philharmonics (which was my alarm clock - played by the Acer laptop every morning at 6:00 last time I was in Greece )

Many of you might already be familiar to this huge source of lyrics, but let me introduce it one more time: http://kithara.musicpage.com includes grand total 2517 lyrics (66 of which sung by Dalaras)

Eleni is my favourite female artist - she has flexible, soft voice and she sings exiting, exotic melodies and even looks great ) I think we may look forward to a new album from her pretty soon - it's sooo long since the latest full album was released (1999 Allazei kathe pou vradyazei). At www.greekcity.com you'll get a good (perhaps not complete) list of albums Eleni participates when you search by name.

...and here's the result of the Finnish jury ;O) 1. Ta prota logia 2. Ach xelidoni mou 3. Ola kala 4. Exo ena kafene 5. Oi eleftheroi ki oraioi
