Let’s Introduce you to Antique which is in ever Eurodance heart
Antique was a eurodance band group which included 19 years old Elena Paparizou and 23 years old Nikos Panagiotidis. Both were born in Sweden after their parents immigrated. Their music is very danceable and combines Eurodance beat synth with Greek touch. The producer team and the dancemusic creators, C&N Project, were earlier season working DJ’s in the Greek Islands.
Elena grew up in Sweden, which is in Scandinavia. Her artistic talents showed from early age, and she began her training in singing, dancing and acting while she was still at school as many other great artists. Antique managed actually to reach top 5 on the Swedish Sales Chart with a Greek song ! Not only that, they were also nominated in the category “Modern Dance” for Swedish Grammy Award.
Opa-Opa gave Antique a huge popularity that they Needed
Their first single Opa-Opa was also on the Top 10 in the whole of Scandinavia at their top popularity and one could hear the song everywhere. In Poland it became a megahit too. All of a sudden everybody knew about Antique! Second single Dinata Dinata was Top 10 for 5 weeks on the Swedish Sales Chart. Both singles had reached Gold status and Opa-Opa had also reached Platinum.
Antique did a lot for Eurodance. They came at the end of the biggest eurodance era, but they really pushed Greek tones into the beats. Muuuzic loves them and the latest info we ever found regarding Antique is that Elena competed for Greece at the Eurovision contest with her song My Number One and won.
