Anastasia Fergadioti notes: “Roots can be a source of inspiration. Certainly, our origins and genes somehow reflect our being. For example, while I didn’t have much contact with the island song, growing up, I started to appreciate it and love it very much. I realize that maybe my father’s roots from the coasts of Asia Minor, Santorini and Anafi speak to me in some way. It goes without saying that the environment you grow up in, what you hear, usually dictates your future choices.”
Xefrago Ambeli band was formed in 2011 and is made up of friends and family members. Antigone Stappa plays the guitar, Spyros Lembesis plays the violin, Grigoris Lembesis plays the lute and Emmanouil Paliakis plays percussion and brass instruments.
