Manteio

We are excited to bring you our first performance as Artis in Residency at Folklore, Hoxton on July 30th! We are excited to bring Stepan Honc, the fiery Pagan Speed Folk guitarist of @perkeltmusic ! Come join us in the Temple of the Oracle once more!

Manteio is a music collective of four artists with backgrounds spanning lifelong dedication to folk and electronic music, to rigorous classical training from the Royal Academy of Music. We interweave improvisation and tradition to craft immersive sonic journeys. Rooted in the ancient Greek concept of the Manteio—“the Oracle” or “Temple of the Oracle”—we channel the wisdom of the past into contemporary soundscapes, inviting audiences into a deep listening experience that transcends time and culture.

Our work merges Hellenic-Greek, Anatolian, Sephardic, East Asian, and Celtic influences, fusing traditional Turkish percussion, saz, Greek lyre, violin, cello, and an array of traditional flutes with vocal techniques spanning ancient traditions to experimental forms, blending effects and electronics to push sonic boundaries.

By fusing timeless instruments with intuitive methods, we blur the lines between past and future, offering audiences a genre-defying experience that celebrates cultural diversity and collective unity.
