Monsieur Doumani hails from the underground of Cyprus to connect with their music the dynamic dots between the island’s cultures and those of Greece, Turkey and the Balkans. The result is a danceable fever storm of raw energy, layered vocals and hypnotic blend of folk tradition with psychedelic exploration.
Coming from different musical backgrounds, but influenced by the Cypriot tradition at various levels, Monsieur Doumani compose music that draws inspiration from contemporary Cypriot society as well as from the shaky conditions of our era. The initial 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. But with their fourth record Pissourin (Glitterbeat, 2021) they push their trademark Mediterranean sonics into a deep psychedelic and avant-folk direction.
Now they make more noise than an acoustic folk trio has any right to. By adding electronics, effects and loop pedals to their unusual lineup for a three-piece (tzouras, trombone and acoustic guitar), they venture into a world that is refreshing and exciting. It’s already been 4 years since Monsieur Doumani last stunned us with this unique sound, so it’s about time they come back to GROUNDS!
