Sundays get musical in Cyprus

Larnaca's palm tree promenade is the venue for holiday makers and locals to dance and enjoy the traditional sounds of the island.

Many artists feature throughout the month with the Oi Las music ensemble and Musical Paintings of Cyprus by Cyprioty composer Leonidas Pitsillides scheduled for the event.

Traditional Cyprus music usually focuses around dancing and traditional dances, such as the sousta, are likely to be seen.

Most traditional music is based around a violin solo accompanied by a laouto - a traditional form of the lute.

Accordions, percussion and penny whistles are also popular.

The events represent a great chance for holiday makers to experience some traditional culture in Cyprus as well as have a go at some of the dancing themselves.
