Today, we will be listening to some of Lina’s most powerful creations – songs of resilience that inspire us to mobilise our inner strength and spirit. Resilience, in the case of lyricist Lina Nikolakopoulou, is found in Melina Aslanidou’s decision to “say yes” or in Zacharias Karounis’ insistence “under the Acropolis” or in Haroula Alexiou’s soothing reassurance: “don’t worry, with heat or with cold…”. Resilience for Lina equals rescuing your soul or staying alive on stage, waiting for the audience’s applause. These are songs that correspond to the creator’s dynamism and her belief in action and persistence.
