The Nābu Pēra music project is a Cypriot trio from Nicosia that fuses traditional and modern elements to create a unique sound. Formed by Savvas Thoma (bendir, vocals), Natasa Hadjiandreou (vibraphone, percussion), and Demetris Yiasemides (flute, sylphyo, electronics), their mission is to redefine how we perceive everyday soundscapes. Their debut album, Soundscapes of Nicosia, releases on October 10, 2025 through the Italian label Zero Nove Nove, with global digital distribution and physical copies available in several European countries.
The album transforms the auditory identity of Nicosia—Europe’s last divided capital—into music. Drawing inspiration from the city’s geopolitical complexity and cultural intersections, Nābu Pēra blends ambient flutes, polyrhythmic percussion, electronic textures, and evocative vocals. Urban sounds—footsteps, voices, electrical hums—are reimagined as musical material, encouraging listeners to slow down and reconnect with their environment.
This world music project integrates contemporary classical, improvisation, Mediterranean traditions, and electronic elements into a layered, immersive experience. Recorded at Hot Soap Studio in Larnaca, the album reflects deep research and collaboration. Rather than merely sampling the city, Nābu Pēra listens, deciphers, and reinvents its sound, offering a new way to experience both music and place.
