About
World music group formed in Cork in 2018, bringing musicians from different countries together to share songs from home and raise awareness through performance. Citadel is a group of musicians formed in the Kinsale Road Accommodation Centre in Cork in September 2018. Musicians from different countries play together, sharing music from home — including Burundi, South Africa, Angola, Malawi, DRC and Syria — with rhythms and tunes from around the world. The group raises awareness and spreads joy, peace and understanding by sharing music with each other and with the Irish community. Some musicians are refugees; others are newly arrived international protection applicants. Roos Demol manages the band and contributes backing vocals. Citadel has performed at festivals and venues across Ireland. Past appearances named on the band site include Culture Night in Cork, Electric Picnic 2022, Songs from an Open Road (Galway), Cork Opera House, Triskel Arts Centre, the National Concert Hall and others. Treat historic listings as past activity unless confirmed again. The EP Café Réfugié (2024) was funded by the Cork Arts Office and Rethink Ireland. Those organisations are historical recording funders, not current My-Village sponsors.
