Panedeni

Panedeni are a cross-cultural ensemble whose name blends the Welsh word paned (a cup of tea) with Adeni tea from Yemen — a celebration of shared culture and bringing people together. Based in North Wales, the group blends Arabic and Welsh musical influences to create a distinctive folk-fusion sound, bringing lived experiences to the forefront of their musical performances.

Their forthcoming EP, Atamanaa (19 June 2026, Sionci / Tŷ  Cerdd), expands Panedeni’s cross cultural sound, featuring collaborations with Sion Rickard and Ayoub Boukhalfa, and includes Arabic and Welsh folk instrumentation. Sung in four languages, the music creates a vibrant, multicultural mix of original music and reimagined folk styles, from belly dance rhythms to Welsh border pipes. 

Panedeni’s music is rooted in inclusivity and celebrating diversity through music and collaboration, creating work that brings together distinct musical heritages while celebrating shared creativity.
