Moonwalk 2016, Pernera to Protaras
Thursady 18th August
Full Moon
This was the second Moonwalk following the success of last years event I can only see this getting bigger … I got down there a bit late but the atmosphere was buzzing … thousands of people walking along the coastal pathway from Pernera to Protaras … 12 Stages along the way with a cross section of Jazz, Reggae, Indi and Greek, local and international artists and musicians played their styles for the passers by …
An avenue of candle lit lanterns adorned the walkway and the artists sets, minimal at times, yet the ambience was lovely, as the full moon rose over Protaras casting reflections in the sea the artists entertained us, and we were loving it … I must give a big shout out to Paralimni Municipality for such an awesome cultural event and of course the artists who captured our attention …
Two of my faves were, on stage 5, Time Machine Through English Songs by Heaven, namely Giannis Margaris, Panayiota Haralamboss and Kyriaki Mavroude and then the wonderful setting on Stage 7, Trio Frisson, Jamie Paul, Byron Athinodorou and Alex Papadopolous, I loved the little log burners creating the smoky backdrop for the lighting, and the rhythms were reggae, soul and a little funk … I was happy staying here !
