Antique

Antique was a Greek-Swedish musical duo composed of Έλενα Παπαρίζου (Helena Paparizou) and Νίκος Παναγιωτίδης (Nikos Panagiotidis). Though born in Gothenburg, Sweden, they embraced their Greek heritage in their music, which blended Europop, club, and Greek folk influences.

The duo's career began in 1999 with the release of their debut album, "Opa - Opa," in Sweden. The album quickly established Antique on the Swedish music scene, featuring hit singles such as the platinum-selling "Opa - Opa" and the gold-certified "Dinata - Dinata." In 2000, Antique embarked on a promotional tour across Europe to support their debut album. The same year saw "Opa - Opa" released in Greece under the title "Μέρα με τη μέρα" (Mera me ti mera), achieving moderate success.
