WINDCRAFT MUSIC FEST

CHA_0843.jpg

Every summer the tiny village of Katydata wakes up to the sound of winds! That’s when world music traditions and jazz, topped with some contemporary sounds, meet up at Windcraft Music Fest for a two-day music fiesta, in which the winds have the leading role; where tradition and modernity co-exist; where you can listen to good music and feel good cheer everywhere!

 

Windcraft Music Fest has been organised by the non-profit cultural association Windcraft Loud since 2014 in the village Katydata (Nicosia region, Cyprus) and aims in showcasing the musical work of local and international artists and in involving all visitors in the process of music creation through interaction. The festival focuses specifically on wind instruments and wind players, which are featured in different music styles and combinations.

In unique traditional settings of the Cypriot countryside, such as the yard of an old inn, an orchard, or picturesque village squares, local and international artists and bands present their original music projects, influenced by music traditions of the world.  Workshops, walks and other parallel activities invite participants of all ages to take part in the process of music creation and explore the village and its culture through a community building process.

Next to the concerts, the festival included an interactive parallel programme with music and arts workshops for children and adults, interactive walks and more. Part of the festival was the artistic residency "People of the Wind: Bridging the sounds of the East and West", which is funded by EFFEA.
