More than 13,000 expatriatesIt is estimated that they attended the concert of the popular Greek singer, Konstantinou Argyrou, which took place on Saturday night, at the famous Barclay’s Center indoor arena, home of the Brooklyn Nets NBA team.

With his exclusive statements to the “National Herald” Konstantinos Argyros expressed his emotion for what he experienced in New York, expressing thanks to the Omogenia, the organizers, the newspaper and the publishing consultant, Antonis H. Diamataris.

“Last night will be etched in my heart forever. I want to thank all the people who with their presence made a dream of mine come true and made me live such a unique experience! I also want to say a big thank you to George Karavias and Dream Hospitality for the wonderful collaboration, as well as Mr. Antonis Diamataris and the ‘National Herald’. I hope we will meet again soon!”, said Konstantinos Argyros.

Moreover, in a setting that recalled images from other decades, Greek-Americans of all ages, from the oldest to the youngest children and teenagers, as well as from every corner of New York – and not only – filled every available pore of the stadium, making it concert of Constantinos Argyros, one of the most successful of recent years.

Audience attendance had already started since 7:00, the surrounding area at the main general admission gates of the Barclay’s Center was overflowing with people. Nevertheless, the Greek expatriates waited patiently and the entry process was completed without any problems. Shortly before the appearance of Constantinos Argyros, and while the introduction program with the Greek-American performer Evangelia (Evangelia) was in progress, the Brooklyn Nets arena was already suffocating and the expressions of excitement were deafening.

The artist himself, who appeared in a Brooklyn Nets jersey, welcoming the spectators, he could not hide his enthusiasm for the massive turnout, offering music and entertainment to the audience, with old as well as newer songs, which had a big hit.

“Thank you very much, today we made History here, at the Barclay’s Center, all together”said Konstantinos Argyros, among others, who received warm applause.

Konstantinos Argyrou’s program included songs such as “Eleftheros”, “Hope”, “My Athens”, “Dawns”, “Finally” and other well-known tracks, while he collaborated on the song “Sunset” with the trapper Light, who also appeared on Barclay’s tent.

When the clock now showed 11 in the evening and, based on the terms of the managers of the venue, the concert should be closed, Konstantinos Argyros postponed the program for another 15 minutes, stating, jokingly, that “he will pay the cost”.

“They told us at 11 at night to stop and that the charge, from now on, will be 1000 euros per minute. It’s okay, I’ll pay for it.” he said, among other things.

Among the characteristics of the image formed at the Barclay’s Center were the Greek and Cypriot flags, the white handkerchiefs, but also the fact that, before the start of the program, the Greek National Anthem was played, while the concert closed with a potpourri of island songs, setting a different note.

After the concert, Constantinos Argyros was photographed with expatriates who remained in the venue to congratulate him and get to know him up close, despite the fact that the timescales for evacuating the stadium from security were already tight.

After all, Barclay’s Center staff only had a few hours to remodel the space and bring the basketball court back into the concourse, as the Brooklyn Nets vs. Philadelphia Sixers game was scheduled for Sunday at 3 p.m. .
