Santa Semeli and the Monks
Musical artist
Santa Semeli and the Monks is a music group formed in London in 2014 by Semeli Economou and Haraldur Ágústsson.[1] Semeli and Haraldur first met in 2012 when Semeli cast Haraldur in her short film The Burning Bush.[2]
The name Santa Semeli and the Monks originated from Semeli's philosophy that religion should serve art.[3] Monks symbolize dedication to a greater cause thus making music and art the priority. The group sees entertainment as the most beautiful and enjoyable way to convey messages.[4]
In June 2014 Santa Semeli and the Monks released their first single ‘Arrivederci Bob’ under their label Cosima Music. The song reached number 3 in the Cyprus i-Tunes charts.
