Background edit
Released on November 3, 2008, the 14 track Mia nihta zoriki is the follow-up album to Terzis' successful 2007 release I diafora.[3] It was composed entirely by Giorgos Theofanous, with lyrics, apart from a few by Giorgos Theofanous, by Thanos Papanikolaou, Kostas Fasoulas, Andreas Neofytidis and poet Manos Eleftherios.[4] The album was released in two case formats: one in a standard jewel case and the other in a larger paperback case, the latter being marked as a "special edition" by some retailers.
