Windcraft Back celebrates 10 years of music in Nicosia

Date:

A series of workshops and concerts between 31 October – 29 November 2026 in Nicosia. 

The non-profit organisation Windcraft Loud is counting ten years of creativity, collaborations, musical encounters and new paths, and is celebrating this with a series of events under the title “Windcraft Back”. The series brings collaborations born out of the organisation’s journey and that of the Windcraft Music Fest back into the spotlight. 

Since its foundation, Windcraft Loud’s primary aim has been to build bridges between the local and international music scenes, bringing together artists from Cyprus and abroad and encouraging the creation of new, cross-border musical collaborations. Through the Windcraft Music Fest, dozens of musicians met for the first time, experimented with different musical genres and created original musical projects. 

“Windcraft Back” revisits some of these encounters, giving them the opportunity to be revived and further developed. Cypriot and international musicians are coming together once more in Nicosia, presenting their music through four distinct concerts, whilst also sharing their knowledge and experience with the local music community through four specialised workshops. 

As part of the series, Harris Lambrakis joins Odysseas Toumazou on a musical journey with references to jazz and modal music, Toms Rudzinskis joins forces with Christos Yerolatsitis for a session centred on contemporary jazz, Federico Pascucci teams up with Larva (Vassilis Filippou & Alexis Kasinos) for a contemporary exploration of traditional music, whilst Andreas Polyzogopoulos meets Marios Takoushis in yet another creative jazz collaboration. 

The concerts are complemented by workshops on modal music, jazz, swing and Balkan music, offering students, professionals and music lovers the opportunity to engage directly with acclaimed musicians from Cyprus and abroad. 

With “Windcraft Back”, Windcraft Loud is celebrating ten years of activities, reuniting artists and collaborations that have shaped its journey and creating new opportunities for artistic development, training and international networking.

ON THIS DAY: 3.4-billion-year-old fossils revealed (1977)

On 23 October 1977, palaeontologist Elso Barghoorn announced the discovery of fossilised single-celled organisms estimated to be 3.4 billion years old, offering remarkable evidence of life on the early Earth. The announcement highlighted the possibility that microscopic life had emerged relatively early in Earth's history, long before plants, animals or other complex organisms appeared. Barghoorn was known for his pioneering work in palaeobiology, particularly his research into ancient microorganisms and the origins of life. Why ancient microfossils matter Unlike the fossilised bones and shells commonly associated with prehistoric life, ancient microfossils can be extremely difficult to identify. Their structures are tiny, and geological processes over billions of years can alter or obscure their original appearance. Researchers study these specimens to understand when life first appeared, what early organisms may have looked like and the environments in which they survived. Evidence of such ancient life is also important to astrobiology, as scientists investigate whether similar conditions might have supported microorganisms elsewhere in the solar system. The continuing search for Earth's earliest life The interpretation of some of the world's oldest proposed microfossils remains a subject of scientific debate. Structures that resemble microorganisms can sometimes form through non-biological processes, making independent chemical and geological evidence essential. Nevertheless, Barghoorn's work helped establish the study of ancient microscopic life as a major field of scientific research. Nearly half a century after his 1977 announcement, the search for Earth's earliest organisms continues to reshape our understanding of how life began.
