[edit] Album History

    • 'Pseftika' was one of the first songs in Greece mixing Western dance vibes with Eastern sounds from India, Turkey and Greece. It was one of the first modern greek songs that were heavily played on clubs (till then clubs played only foreign music). It was so different fom what Anna had sung till then that she didn't want to sing it but it turned out to be her biggest hit. 'Pseftka' started the new era in modern greek songs that mix foreign and local sounds.
    • The video for the single "Balomataki" was filmed in Marocco.
    • The album sold more than 160 000 copies and was certified Platinum, being the second best selling album of the year following Yiannis Parios album "San Trello Fortigo" which sold 200 000 copies.
