It is a season with much to do, see and enjoy. The local music scene thrives every autumn and winter and new musical programmes are presented. This week and next week, Technopolis 20 in Paphos has two exciting events coming up featuring funky jazz sounds and the fascinating marimba percussion instrument.
First up, is a performance by the local band Fuzz Bus which is performing its first-ever show at Technopolis 20 on Wednesday at 8pm. A band (Lefteris Moumtzis, Ermis Michail, Andreas Panteli and Omiros Miltiadous) that touches on a very wide range of styles, Fuzz Bus focuses on improvisation and in-the-moment interaction. Expect a groovy and energetic performance filled with well-known numbers played with the band’s added special flavour, as well as original tunes.
The group, having been tested in countless live shows from festivals to music scenes and bars in recent years, has developed a very special way of communication on stage and a unique way of expressing itself as a musical entity. Influenced by the progressive jazz of John McLaughlin’s Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jimi Hendrix’s psychedelic blues, Terry Callier’s progressive folk and Sly Stone’s funk, among others, they will present an irresistible set of original pieces with an intense energy that engages the audience, inviting them to share this exciting journey with Fuzz Bus.
Next week, Dona Amyrotou will introduce audiences to the enchanting world of the marimba. Through an exciting recital, she will familiarise audiences with the marimba and allow them to listen and get to know this uncommon and exceptional percussion instrument. The repertoire of the recital varies like an old Jukebox and the composers of the pieces are from all around the world. Dona, with the warm, vibrant and unique sound of the marimba, will perform pieces originally written for the instrument and arrangements from different styles and genres.
