Mr. Wilson combines hits from the '80s and '90s with modern melodies, adopting a reggae-funky approach. It was formed by a group of talented musicians who have participated in numerous festivals across Cyprus, offering unique and energetic musical experiences. Their passion and dedication to music and their craft have made them especially cherished in the Cypriot music scene.

 

In this Showcase edition, Mr. Wilson will be presenting a selection of original reggae music featuring two recently composed songs that reflect its unique sound and message.

 

Additionally, the band has included two well-known songs, carefully arranged to bring their distinct style and interpretation to the music. Their original compositions are inspired by the current global landscape, capturing reflections on social issues while weaving in universal themes of love, unity, and peace. Through its music, Mr. Wilson hopes to create a shared experience that resonates with audiences, encouraging positive reflection and a sense of connection. These performances are crafted to inspire and entertain, staying true to the roots of reggae while incorporating the musicians’ personal creative vision. «We invite everyone to join us in celebrating music’s power to communicate important messages and foster a sense of community and harmony.»

The Gandalfinis

What do an engineer, a banker, a lawyer, a programmer, and an academic have in common? For The Gandalfinis, it is their passion for music. When this eclectic mix of artists—most of whom are seasoned with the wisdom of being over 50—finish their daily jobs, they swap spreadsheets and courtrooms for guitars and trumpets. Like all great phenomena, the Gandalfinis were born by pure chance. They have known each other for decades, with some of them having played music together since the beginning of time. One lucky day, they got together to see if something might happen and, indeed, it did. They immediately began creating their own music and covering favourite songs from other artists that inspired them. The band performs a blend of funk, soul, and pop, rooted in jazz music and influenced by the sounds of the '70s to the '90s. Some pieces are covers, some others are original compositions, all crafted with love and shaped by each artist's unique talents.
