Tradition Re-Loaded

A wonderful musical journey along the paths of Cypriot musical traditions with the award-winning Tat Tnabar musical group, combined with selected poems by Costas Montis.

Traditional music is, without any doubt, the manifestation of popular oral culture, but also the intellectual and historical life of the nation, as it is transmitted from older to younger generations, as the quintessence of wisdom, providing us with spiritual growth, self-awareness and a well-shaped cultural identity.

«TRADITION RE-LOADED»is a proposal which seeks to interpret and present traditional cypriot songs, through a contemporary approach, using most unusual instruments, that are made out of recycled material, even out of vegetables. This approach does not interfere with our goal of remaining faithful to the original musical sound, while at the same time we shape for each one of the songs an innovating and unique course of acoustics. This is a contemporary artistic creation, a musical journey in the field of our popular musical tradition, producing a colouring in the sound that shows the coexistence of the old with the contemporary and the fusion of opposite yet absolutely compatible hearings.

This journey will be accompanied by the narration of selected poems of Costas Montis, thus honoring one of the greatest poets and writers of Cyprus, on the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of his birth, and this narration is uniquely embodied in the whole musical journey, leading the audience into an innermost redefining of the universal values and their position in the world today.
