Tat-Tnabar is a mighty team of 5 talented professionals in the fields of percussions, dance, theatre and music.
They were created by Lefteris Moschovias in Cyprus during the summer of 2000, and their goal is to break away from the usual musical trends, by utilizing anything but the usual musical instruments, with the source of their inspiration originating from the musical history of Africa.
Tat-Tnabar is the only percussion group in Cyprus that participates in various Electronic-Music Festivals abroad accompanying famous Disk Jockeys like Tiesto, Sacha, Robbie Rivera, David Siemen, Nick Warren, Said Murat, dj Rise- London Kiss FM, Dj Danny P, etc.
They compose music for theatre, movies and documentaries and always perform their own music with instruments that they built from scratch.
Their music has been awarded the THOK (Cyprus Theatre Organization) theatre award as “Best music of the Year” on two separate occasions – 2005/06 and 2006/07.
They also perform and give seminars on “The evolution of rhythm and sound, from the Paleolithic era to today, of electronic music).
Sound-rhythm-moves with extracts taken from various African musical tribes that live in the depths of the jungle. With history, philosophy and mythology being the archives of human heritage. They are hymn singers, percussionists, healers, dancers, troubadours and only use self-made musical instruments from recycled materials.
The musical instruments that they use are recycled materials – pots and pans- buckets – barrels – plastic tubes and even vegetables. They manage to combine ecology with art and offer a unique spectacle as well as strong environmental message. They will travel you on magical paths where one can discover the beauties of our planet, from the desert to the Amazon rainforest, from the depths of Africa to modern Europe, from the sea bed to the highest mountain peak. Through beauty and art, culture is born alongside the respect of human being toward other human beings and the love in everything that surrounds us.
