Uproot is a program developed by Katerina Clambaneva and Ellie Falaris Ganelin. All songs are arranged by Ellie Ganelin, except for Sto ’Pa Kai Sto Xanaleo (arr. Costas Dafnis) and Feggari Magia Mou ’Kanes (arr. Michael Malis).

“If you listen to the album and you love it, please don’t keep it a secret,” Ganelin said, encouraging fans to share on social media.

Earlier in June, she also noted that “I’ve been awarded a grant from the Elios Foundation, which supports Hellenic cultural nonprofits in the Bay Area. I’ve applied for funding a few times over the years and this is the first time I’ve won an award from this foundation.”
