They call themselves Monsieur Doumani. The name they go by is a reflection of the wickedly humorous irony that pervades throughout their music. The three musicians are something of a revolutionary band. They are politically aware which might not be a rarity in Cyprus, but they make no bones about that fact. And that is rare in an island that does not brook non-conformity. Still, the group of musicians is unafraid of either the stasis that grips most Mediterranean societies or censure. But they are clever as well. Their unique brand of protest is communicated through exquisitely intellectual music that is recreated from the folk songs and poetry of Cyprus. theworldmusicreport/2014/10/21/reviews/cd-reviews/monsieur-doumani-grippy-grappa/
