Windcraft Music Fest 8

Every August 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 three-day music fiesta, in which the winds have the leading role; where tradition and modernity co-exist; where you can listen to good music, dance, play, laugh and feel good cheer everywhere!

Windcraft Μusic 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.

The line-up of the 8th edition of Windcraft Music Fest, which will take place between 5th-7th August 2022, will include bands from Cyprus, Brazil, Germany, Italy and Israel presenting their original music that ranges from jazz and world music to hip-hop and techno electroacoustic beats. Furthermore, a wide array of parallel activities, such as workshops, walks, exploration games, theatre performances or installations, will invite visitors to interact with each other and actively take part in making music!
