NEW YORK – The band Sounds of Cyprus, fronted by vocalist Elena Chris with music direction by Peter Douskalis, will play an evening of traditional music from the island of Cyprus for a unique evening and setting to usher back the live music scene in New York City on Thursday, September 16, 9 PM, at Drom, 85 Avenue A in Manhattan.

The band has already played at Drom in June of this year when it took part in the welcoming back of the city, and was received by the crowd with enthusiasm and joy.

The ensemble will perform classic Cypriot favorites from the traditional repertoire including songs by Hadjimichael, Tokas, Ioannidis, and Violaris to name a few.
