Music sounds around the island

Carnival festivities may be over but live music and dance parties continue around the island. Tonight, Limassol bar Sto Dromo is hosting local band Equinox for a night of live jazz and funk music. From 9.30pm until midnight Giorgos Krassides, Marinos Neophytou, Ioannis Karseras and Marios Gregoriou will be sharing their sounds.

Next Saturday Sto Dromo will leave funky jazz melodies behind and make room for reggae sounds in a session with JAH Star Soundsystem and special guests from High Station Sound. “Expect uplifting Roots, Reggae, Dub music and nothing but good vibes” says the bar. Entrance is free and the music starts at 8pm.

Meanwhile The Triple Soul Band will head to Mason Bar on Thursday for a live session of funk, soul and jazz. Again, this event is free to attend and starts at 9pm.

Larnaca also has a few live music gigs lined up, starting on Thursday at Savino Rock Bar which will host the popular Greek singer Christos Thiveos in a live performance. Opening the evening will be a performance by Marios Orphanides and Christos Seas.

The following day Savino Live will host The Zilla Project to perform songs from their debut album This One’s for the President as well as their unique versions of Blues classics. Tickets cost €10.

In Nicosia the Azucar Fiesta will be organised by the DanzAddiction Dance Studio at Grey Terrace on Saturday. Two DJs, low-priced drinks are on offer.

For a more retro vibe, Semeli Hotel is hosting a party blasting tunes from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s with DJ Chris Americanos. Finally, Greek hip hop artist Novel 729 will present his new album at RED.Music Stage in a three-hour live show.
