Cyprus is filled with big hearts and big emotions – a hot, sleepy island, with hot tempers! On the surface it looks ‘normal’, but below the surface are many layers, filled with history – both beautiful and painful. An island full of amazing people, with incredible stories, doing amazing things. Join social and political analyst Costa Constanti to meet Cyprus and those who live there and in the diaspora.
In the 34th episode of Terra Nullius Cyprus, meet Eleonora Roussou. Flautist, pianist, mesmerising singer, inspiring music teacher and performer. She performed her latest album, Χαρά (meaning ‘Joy’), at the Nicosia Municipal Theatre last year and sent the audience on a magical journey. She’s performed at the Windcraft Music Fest in Katydata, the Paradise Jazz Festival in Paphos, the Larnaca Jazz Festival, at Limassol’s Rialto Jazz and World Music Festival, at Aglanjazz in Nicosia, at the Kypria Festival, Axiothea Festival, and for the Pafos 2017 European Capital of Culture, and more! She’s even performed at the North See Jazz Festival in Rotterdam, the Europalia Music Festival in Belgium, the Zyprische Frühling, Zyprische Momente, and Zyprische Miniaturen in Germany, the Epidavros Theater Festival in Greece, among many others. She inspires her students and has a vision of music education influencing academic growth. When she has free time, you can find her relaxing at Fanous Lebanese Restaurant and dreaming of performing at Kouklia in Paphos, or at Bellapais Abbey in Kyrenia. You can download her magical and romantic album at eleonoraroussou.bandcamp.com/album/har-joy – you won’t regret it.
