Panedeni—a unique musical ensemble whose name fuses the Welshphrase, Paned, for a "cup of tea" with Adeni tea from Aden, Yemen. Panedeni composes music with Welsh and Arabic language and musical influence and is committed to expanding horizons and crossing cultural borders, blurring the lines between Eastern and Western folk music. Fronted by Yasmine Latkowski, we 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. ‘An unforgettable sold-out night of inspiring performances that captivated the audience from start to finish. This event was a brilliant highlight of the Llangollen Fringe Festival, an absolute gem that will be remembered for years to come’ – Paul Keddie, Llangollen Fringe.
