She subsequently contributed to Manos Hatzidakis' 1971 album "Land of Gold" [gr: 'Της Γης Το Χρυσάφι'], providing vocals on six of the twelve tracks included on the album.

Her discography spans both traditional laika and entekhna genres as well as Greek pop and Greek New Wave. In recent years, Galani has composed music both for her own solo work and for feature films and TV, work for which she won the Arion award for the song 'Pull the Trigger' [gr: 'Τράβα σκανδάλη'] and the Prosopa award for the film soundtrack of 'Taxim'.
