In a good mood and with a visible joy of playing, the ensemble "Papillon" (Πεταλούδα) lets music from Ireland, Russia, France, Greece, Albania, Serbia, Israel, Armenia, Estonia, Finland, Japan, Ukraine, Spain, Turkey, Germany sound and fill ears and hearts with familiar and unusual melodies.

As butterflies fly from flower to flower and collect nectar, the musicians of "Papillon" collect melodies and dances from all over the world, make them their own and present the resulting songs and instrumental pieces in an exciting and varied way in their concert programmes.

Music can overcome borders, connect people, it is a piece of home and freedom. The musicians rely on it with nyckelharpa, a sonorous old instrument, various flutes, kalimba, shrutibox, finnish kantele, melodion, percussion, guitar and singing.
