About this event
The Department of Contemporary Culture of the Deputy Ministry of Culture and Rialto Theatre are organising a pre-event at Lemba Cultural Village in Lemba, Paphos, ahead of the 13th Cyprus Jazz & World Music Showcase, featuring Soulful Groove Collective, a band that performed at last year's Showcase.
The pre-event aims to further showcase musical acts from the previous edition, creating a musical bridge between the past and upcoming editions of the Cyprus Jazz & World Music Showcase.
Soulful Groove Collective draws inspiration from the rich tradition of soul and the freedom of jazz. Their repertoire combines original compositions with contemporary soul-jazz arrangements, characterised by rhythmic intensity, a strong musical identity, and creative improvisation.
Driven by the musical chemistry and virtuosity of its members, the band creates a vibrant and direct connection with the audience, delivering a live performance filled with energy and a dynamic stage presence.
