As part of their Songlines Encounter Tour, Monsieur Doumani will be visiting the Theatr Mwldan.
This group formed in 2011 in Nicoisia and the three members are influenced by Cypriot folklore.
They focus on rearranging Cypriot traditional songs adding their own particular colour to the sound and feeling of the songs.
The group are made up of Antonis Antoniou (tzouras), Angelos Ionas (guitar) and Demetris Yiasemides (wind instruments).
They also compose their own songs in the Cypriot dialect, which are inspired by contemporary Cypriot society, for example the recent financial crisis that hit the island and the corrupted political system.
Monsieur Doumani, nominated for 'Best Newcomer' in Songlines Music Awards 2014 and in March 2015 Monsieur Doumani released their second full-length album, ‘Sikoses’.
The album was awarded ‘Top of the World’ in Songlines magazine issue #108 and received outstanding reviews from other media internationally.
Monsieur Doumani will be at Theatr Mwldan on Monday, June 1.
Tickets for Monsieur Doumani are £13 (£11) and are available to book from Theatr Mwldan’s Box Office on 01239 621200, and online at www.mwldan.co.uk
