Songlines Aboriginal Music

This intimate evening will feature 3 talented Aboriginal singers from very diverse musical and professional backgrounds. In their contrasting careers, they have reached Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal audiences alike. This line up of artists will span generations, states and histories representing a large cross section of Aboriginal people.

...Koorie Stories and Song is a unique opportunity to promote understanding between Indigenous and non Indigenous peoples through the medium of music. The 3 artists will share the stage performing their music accompanied by facilitated discussion on how their Aboriginal Identity influences their art. This will allow these artists to display the living culture which is South Eastern Indigenous music. MC'd by visual artist and performer in his own right, Kamahi Djordon King, the evening promises to be a frank and entertaining exploration into the minds and hearts of renowned Koorie performers.

Alongside questions posed by the evening's MC, there will be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions. Koorie Stories and Song promises to be an entertaining and enlightening evening and one more step in the journey of Healing and Reconciliation.

The event is supported by Songlines and the City of Darebin.

Songlines: Healing the Land and her Peoples through the Harmony of music, dance and song.
