Panedeni

Multicultural Band with a musical mix of Arabic, Welsh and English. Panedeni—a unique musical ensemble whose name fuses the Welsh phrase, Paned, for a “cup of tea” with Adeni tea from Aden, Yemen. Expanding horizons and crossing cultural borders, blurring the lines between Eastern and Western folk music and focussing on collaboration with amazing individuals to bring their unique experiences to the forefront of an exciting musical project. Fronted by Yasmine Latkowski, they bring together a rich tapestry of Middle Eastern, English, and Welsh influences to create a vibrant, multicultural mix of original music. Yasmine’s captivating vocals are complemented by a diverse group of musicians: Tim Eastwood on Welsh bagpipes and violin, Reuben Allen on bass, Joelle Barker and John Ramm on percussion, Katie Stevens on woodwind, and Sam Slater on guitar and oud. Together, we weave a mesmerising blend of Eastern and Western folk traditions, which has been seen at Focus Wales 2024, Llangollen International Eisteddfod, Wrexfest 2024 with Akram Abdulfattah and Llangollen Fringe Festival.
