Trio Rondine is a newly formed band that emerged in 2021 when three friends, accomplished musicians, joined forces to perform the musical landscape of the Mediterranean. Rondine, meaning swallow. On the map of migratory birds the four points of the horizon, starting from Greece, to fly to the areas bordering the Mediterranean Sea.
Each of their stations a song from another tradition. And as the swallows' long journey continues, tradition is succeeded by modern songwriting and film music, to lead them back to their warm nests, with a host of songs to whisper to their young.
Their repertoire includes traditional and contemporary songs from Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Corsica, Syria, Lebanon, Croatia, France, Spain, Morocco, Libya, Egypt, as well as well-known themes from film milestones.
The group will also present original, unpublished material inspired by the musical traditions of the Mediterranean. The songs, and the traditions they represent, are bound together by the element of storytelling, which in turn unites old stories from folk songs with contemporary, personal experiences of the musicians. Their voices are accompanied by a guitar, an accordion and a mandolin. In this concert, Trio Rondine hosts an excellent Cypriot musician, Marinos Kasinos on bass and soundscapes.
They have presented their work at the Larnaca Municipality Medieval Festival in summer 2021, at the 8th Cyprus Jazz & World Music Showcase in November 2021 and at music venues in the capital.
