Soulful Groove Collective Live at Lemba Cultural Village at 13th Cyprus Jazz & World Music Showcase Pre Event

The Department of Contemporary Culture of the Deputy Ministry of Culture and Rialto Theatre are organising a special pre-event at Lemba Cultural Village in Lempa, Paphos, on Saturday, 21 November 2026, at 20:00, ahead of the 13th Cyprus Jazz & World Music Showcase.

The event will feature Soulful Groove Collective, a band that participated in last year’s Showcase, bringing its distinctive blend of soul and jazz to the stage once again.

This pre-event aims to further promote and showcase musical acts from the previous edition, creating a musical bridge between last year’s and this year’s Cyprus Jazz & World Music Showcase, while offering audiences another opportunity to experience the creativity and diversity of Cyprus’ contemporary music scene.

Soulful Groove Collective (SGC) draws inspiration from the rich tradition of soul and the freedom of jazz. Their repertoire brings together original compositions and contemporary soul-jazz arrangements, characterised by rhythmic intensity, a distinctive musical identity, and creative improvisation.

Driven by the musical chemistry and virtuosity of its members, the band establishes a vibrant connection with the audience, delivering an engaging live performance marked by a dynamic stage presence.

The pre-event sets the stage for the 13th Cyprus Jazz & World Music Showcase, which will take place at Rialto Theatre in Limassol from 4 to 6 December 2026, starting at 19:30 each evening and bringing together musical acts from Cyprus’ jazz and world music scene.
