Niki Nana is the fifth studio album by Keyboardist Yanni, released on the Private Music label in 1989. It peaked at #2 on Billboard's "Top New Age Albums" chart in the same year.[2]

The liner notes dedicate the album to his father and mother respectively: "Dedicated to Sotiri and Felitsa Hrisomallis".[3]

In 1992, lyrics in Greek were written for the track "Nightbird" by Greek lyricist Tasoula Thomaïdou. The song was called "Mia Ellada Fos" (A whole Greece of Light) and was performed by the Greek-Cypriot singer Konstantina in her personal album of the same name in 1992.
