An "art-pop" affair, the album mixes folk, acoustic rock, pop, vocal jazz and bossa-nova in a highly accomplished end product. After the release of "După Melci" in 1979, the second studio album (untitled, 1984) comes as a turn for the mainstream but with keeping the artistry and sensibility. The band was made with Sfinx keyboardist Nicolae Enache, Phoenix drummer and percussionist Costin Petrescu and the bassist and guitarist Ioan Oagăn. But Alifantis stays formost active as an actor or composer for theatretrical or cinematic soundtracks.
It opens the door for his 1979 debut album ' După melci' based in poems by Ion Barbu.
His participations to the project eventually appear on compilations Folk 1 and 2 1977/78 which pushes Nicu's musical forward. After his military service he joins the poetry initiative Cenaclul Flacăra led by poet Adrian Paunescu. From one of the shows his song 'Cântec de noapte' gets popular and in 1976 Electrecord releases it as a single. He starts out as an actor in 1973 and finds employ at the Teatro Maria Filotti of Braila. Alifantis was born in Braila with Macedonian Greek parents.
