This blog has tended to employ non-conventional approaches to the music of Cyprus. So I thought [despite various worries about the manifold problems with this revisionist Zeitgeist (in which I'm afraid this blog might be participating)] I'd put together some recent takes on 'traditional' Cypriot music.
The legendary DJ Drimiteros performs the canonical cypriot works.
Monsieur Doumani "rearranging folk music from the island of Cyprus"
Labri Giotto - Αγιά Μαρίνα jαι Jυρά
M.Takoushis & G.Karapatakis Quartet - Agia Marina jai Jira
KITE music - Το τέρτιν της καρτουλλας μου and Ροδαφνούσα by the affiliated αἱ φωναί
Kikadot - Asherombasman
Ocarina Project - 4th Women's Karsilamas
Giannis Koutis - Kypriako Zeimpekiko and also To tertin tis kartoullas mou.
vybbtuan - fashionable cypriotism
There's probably a lot that I'm leaving out - but this is a blog, so feel free to contribute to the list.
Note that many of these bands are coming together for the forthcoming Arminou festival this weekend.
