Microvinifications Part II
Music by Monsieur Doumani, Ο αχάπαρος, Out-of-touch guy
Microvinifications Part II - Defining the terroir
9 stories - 9 pieces of art
With the second release of the Microvinifications project, we take our efforts one step further to unveil the secrets and the potentials of the indigenous varieties of our island. Sustainable living in and outside work, modesty, and respect to mother nature remain our principles.
This year we present our series of the Microvinifications project through a “behind the scenes” video accompanied by a satirical song of one of the most respected bands of Cyprus, Monsieur Doumani called “Ο αχάπαρος”, “ Out-of-touch guy”.
(For our English speaking friends, a translation and explanation of this song can be found below).
We would like to thank,

Ahaparos, a satirical song with music and lyrics by Antonis Antoniou, which was inspired by an unfortunate incident that the group experienced at a festival in Cyprus last year. More specifically, the band was performing on one of Nicosia's main streets, participating in the first Nicosia Buskers festival, when two policemen approached them and insisted on arresting them. After quite a long dispute, the band was given a fine for allegedly violating a colonial law against begging. After the huge attention that the incident got from social media, finally the government apologized to the band, and changed the law with regards to begging so that street artists are not anymore included! This song humorously describes the last thoughts of the chief policeman, some moments before he and his colleague decided to approach the band.
I can't stand these tramps any longer, holding those things that look like tins They open their mouths and begin to murmur things, I think I've seen this [performing music] before but I've forgotten what it's called.
Oh man, are these people normal? Just sitting here on the street, instead of going to a football match or a brothel, or to a betting shop, or even show off their macho selves at the horse races. This is unacceptable, I am going to arrest them, and then I will be praised and promoted, for putting these tramps behind bars. No one's going to call me chicken again
CYPRUS, LIMASSOL THE BEAUTIFUL CITY
Limassol is a city on the southern coast of Cyprus. It’s known for the centuries-old Limassol Castle, home to the Cyprus Medieval Museum and its collection of pottery and tombstones. On the seafront is the Prokymea (Molos) Sculpture Park, with sculptures by Cypriot, Greek and international artists. To the northeast is the Limassol Archaeological Museum, exhibiting artifacts from the Neolithic to the Roman periods.
Buffavento Castle
Die mittelalterliche Burg Buffavento (italienisch, buffa di vento : Die dem Wind trotzende) befindet sich auf einem Kalkkegel des Besparmak-Gebirges (Pentadaktylos-Gebirge) in Nordzypern. Sie ist eine von drei Burgen, die zueinander in Sichtkontakt stehen und hat (im Vergleich zu St. Hilarion und Kantara) den schlechtesten Erhaltungszustand.
