Star Hairdresser gave a title to Delhusa’s largest hit
– At that time, the composition was very collective, in most cases more musicians met together, and the hits were born through together. This was the case with Nika SE Perimeno, and we wrote the song with the Neoton band, which is based on the Greek melody world. Accordingly, we would have liked a Greek text insert. I knew that the Nika female name would definitely have to be in the refrain, because I had a platonic love, which I only admired from a distance, was called Nicos, which was called Nikos, reminiscent of Delhusa Gjon, who gave a surprising backstage: the star hairdresser.
Papas Vasily cut my hair and told him that the first half of the refrain would be Nika, and then I asked him to say something Greek, because I knew he was talking well. He immediately realized that « no perimeno », which means I wait for you. I really liked it, and that’s how the title of the song, Nika SE Perimeno, was born, the singer recalled.
The hit was released in 1979, but did not immediately become a hit, which has a surprising reason.
« This song has been deceiving on one of my discs for many years, and no one was noticing, completely different songs, and then it became really popular in the 1980s. » This could have happened because Greece was a very high destination in the 1970s, and almost everyone wanted to visit it at least once in their lives. However, over time, this fever calmed down and everyone in the 1980s thought back to Greece with nostalgic memories, and this nostalgia also received Nika SE Perimeno, which I was able to perform very authentically, as the title of the song was very good, the musician laughed.
