True Sounds of Rumba | Rumba Attack | TEDxLimassol

True Heroes

Superheroes exist. They live among us. They put on their capes everyday. In offices, in labs, on the sports track, in garages. Creating, designing, educating, entertaining, informing - making a true difference. To a true hero, every detail matters, every second is important, every inch counts. They lead by example driven by their own targets. They are the ones that will not conform, willing to face challenges and to set out on journeys to uncertain endings. Yet, they do not know how to give up. And once they succeed - because like any true hero they always succeed - change is created.


TEDxLimassol 2015 promises to be daring and provocative by bringing on the stage true heroes that will share their ideas and inspire us to wear our own capes.

Rumba Attack is a music group from Cyprus made of Constantinos Lyras and Memnon Arestis on guitars, and Savvas Thoma on cajon/percussion.

The trio performs their own original instrumental material, with the exception of a few select covers of the genre, as well as some covers of old Greek songs, sung and performed in the group’s distinctive Spanish Flamenco-Rumba style, blended with sounds from World music, Blues, Rock & Jazz.

Rumba Attack plays regularly at live venues and municipal events, as well as at the island’s finest music & arts festivals, including the Rialto Ethnic Music Festival 2015, Afro Banana Festival 2015, Fengaros Music Festival 2014, Windcraft Festival 2014 and the Pafos Ethnic Jazz Festival 2014 & 2015.

They are soon to release their first full-length studio album complete with their own original songs.
