Description

The Villagers of Ioannina City are coming to Cyprus for performances before the release of their new album.

Villagers of Ioannina City (VIC or V.I.C.) is a folk rock band from Ioannina, Greece, formed in 2007. They play post, stoner and psychedelic rock with a dose of greek folk music from the region Epirus. The regional musical tradition is characterized by polyphony, specific rhythms, tunes and the use of clarinet. The band fuses folklore music with modern psychedelic forms, creating a sound where the dominant solo instrument is the clarinet.
