UNESCO-recognized Rebetiko music tribute tours Cypriot villages alongside dance, exhibitions, and film events
This week in Cyprus, the “Rebetiko – World Cultural Heritage” music performance tours rural villages, honoring the UNESCO-recognized rebetiko song. Featuring acclaimed musician Giorgos Tzortzis, the show is part of the 2026 Cultural Decentralisation Programme, visiting Koilani, Mitsero, Prasteio Avdimou, and Arsos. Another musical highlight is “The Three-String Journey,” celebrating Greek folk music and the bouzouki, with free admission in Pano Platres this October.
Contemporary dance enthusiasts can experience “Frear” by Selas Dance Company in Lagoudera and Alithinou. This piece explores themes of memory and transformation through choreography, live music, and multimedia effects as part of the decentralisation initiative. Meanwhile, visual art exhibitions continue across Cyprus, showcasing installations, photography, and group shows in Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos, and other towns.
Cinema lovers have a new release to look forward to at Rio Limassol: “The Money Maker” (L’Affaire Bojarski), directed by Jean-Paul Salomé. The cultural programme offers a diverse array of artistic experiences celebrating local and Greek heritage through August and beyond.
