Panedeni – The Atamanaa Tour
Multicultural band with a musical mix of Arabic, Welsh and English.
Panedeni are a cross-cultural ensemble whose name blends the Welsh word paned (a cup of tea) with Adeni tea from Yemen — a celebration of shared culture and bringing people together. Based in North Wales, the group blends Arabic and Welsh musical influences to create a distinctive folk-fusion sound, bringing lived experiences to the forefront of their musical performances.
Their forthcoming EP, Atamanaa (19 June 2026, Sionci / Tŷ Cerdd), features collaborations with Sion Rickard and Ayoub Boukhalfa, showcasing amazing musicians across Wales, and includes oud, guitar, violin, clarinet, flutes, Egyptian percussion, bass, and vocals. Sung in four languages, the music creates a vibrant, multicultural mix of original music and reimagined folk styles, from belly dance rhythms to Welsh border pipes.
Panedeni are committed to promoting inclusivity and diversity through music and collaboration, creating work that brings together distinct musical heritages while celebrating shared creativity. Fans of folk-fusion and acoustic global-fusion, such as Bab L’ Bluz, Imarhan and Gnawa Diffusion, may find a familiar appeal in Panedeni’s sound.
