Our International Music of the Month suggestion is Angathin by Monieur Doumani
Following the international success of their two previous albums, Cypriot group Monsieur Doumani returns with its third release titled 'Angathin'. The album consists almost exclusively of original compositions and it essentially picks up from where their previous multi-award-winning album 'Sikoses' (2015) left them. The album with the symbolic name 'Angathin' (which translates as 'thorn') addresses more than ever, the political, social and activist concerns and sensitivities of the group members.
The songs are inspired, among other things, by the unstable political situation on the divided island of Cyprus and the need for peace and reunification, as well as environmental crimes committed in the name of economic growth and profit. Musically, the mood for experimentation is obvious both in terms of composition and arranging as well as texture-wise, while the album develops new relationships and balances in melody, rhythm, harmony and timbre.—Amazon
