The beloved singer-songwriter Matoula Zamani is coming to Nicosia with her band on Friday, December 5, 2025, to offer another unforgettable musical experience. The acclaimed artist and composer will take the audience on a journey through art-folk and traditional Greek sounds, blending emotion, humor, and poetry in her own inimitable style.

In her words:

“We come to meet—secretly, openly—
To join hands,
To raise them high,
To see what and how,
To remember what we already know.
To see how the dowry-seeker turns into a hare,
How cowboys flee when the Indians appear.
How need becomes history,
How mountains, seas, and love remain free—
As fleeting and human as our moments and desires.
How the hoopoes have mated this year,
How songs always tell the truth,
How nothing real can be explained—
Only lived.
No matter how many obstacles stone hearts may build,
The sun still rises,
An ant still brings the spring,
The more vulnerable we are, the freer we become.
With clarinets, violins, and electric silences—
Music for romantic souls that crack sweetly,
Without middlemen or energy drainers,
Only the life boats of joy and spirit.
Because there’s another world to discover,
Beneath the sky—
Whether calm or stormy.
We invite you to sail with us and tsilimilintoulichioni!
Until we meet again,
Matoula.”
