www.monsieurdoumani.com Monsieur Doumani, awarded for 'Best Group' in Songlines Music Awards 2019, was formed in 2011 in Nicosia. Coming from different musical backgrounds, but influenced by the Cypriot tradition at various levels, Monsieur Doumani compose music that draws inspiration from the contemporary Cypriot society as well as from the shaky conditions of our era. The original identity of the project was determined by the adaptation of Cypriot traditional pieces, with a special contemporary colour in sound and mood, forming a style distinctively of their own. Their live appearances in festivals and venues across the world (WOMEX, WOMAD, FMM Sines, Sziget, Rudolstadt, Havana World Music Fest, Sur Jahan India, Konzerthaus Vienna, Paradiso, MUPA, etc) have been very well-received by diverse audiences and their music has been presented on radio and TV stations around the globe.
