The rest of the song lyrics are written by Emma Rohan. The songs were sung by the men's chorus of Zakynthos in Montreal (directed by P.Plarinos), the mixed chorus of the Cultural Centre of Mesologgi (Directed by S. Cholevas) as well as vocal soloists (Dimitris Ilias, Maria Diamanti, Makis Papagavriil, Marialena Spinoula, Theod. Neofotistos). The recordings took place in Montreal, in Mesologgi and in Athens.
