Through high energy drumming song and dance, audiences will be taken on a journey tracing West African culture in contemporary Australia back to its roots in the ancient Mandinka empire of West Africa.
The show begins with a warm and intimate acoustic set from One Africa which brings together two of Melbourne's most loved West African performers, King Marong and Lamine Sonko. A subtle fusion of traditional West African culture and contemporary Australian influences, One Africa creates a hypnotically soulful repertoire of original songs. Muhanamwe then take the stage with an electrifying set of traditional Guinean music and dance. Muhanamwe, meaning culture, has emerged from the dense and vibrant undergrowth of Melbourne’s world music scene as one of the freshest and most exciting West African percussion and dance ensembles.
