The Ormimus band in their repertoire combines elements of the cultures of people inhabiting the outskirts of our continent, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. The artists are fascinated by Jewish music (including klezmer), Yemeni, Syrian, Moroccan, Spanish, Balkan and Eastern European music. In 2023, these diverse inspirations informed the creation of the ORMIMUS Oriental Mystique Music. Music from this album will be presented by the trio during their concert at the NFM.  

The concert will make you crave the gusts of hot southern winds, you will get immersed in exciting melodies, pulsating rhythms and mystical sounds that will take you to the Mediterranean Sea and further towards the desert dunes. The guides on this enchanting journey will be graduates of the Karol Lipiński Academy of Music in Wrocław and experienced musicians present on stage for decades.
