An historical album of Loukianos Kilaidonis, the first one where the composer decided to try his chances as a singer. The reaction of his fans was so positive, that Kilaidonis was the main singer to all his following albums. The work was revolutionary since it cauterized the habits and ethics of the "petits bourgeois", a social class very common at the great cities. The music is very pleasant and humoristic and the album became platinum and remained as one of the most original and daring musical works ever.
