REBEL MUSIK at XO STATE (Music / Performance)
February 24, 2017 @ 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm AEDT
$25.50 – $30
For renowned Papuan Producer / Percussionist / Activist – Airileke, music is his weapon. Rebel Musik sees Airileke bring rising stars from Port Moresby’s urban music scene, traditional dancers from the highlands of PNG, along with Australian and West Papuan artists from Airi’s back catalogue of collaborators including members of Grrilla Step, Twin Tribe, Paluai Sook Sook, Drum Drum and Rize of the Morning Star. Together they present Rebel Musik – urgent, political, in-your-face musik from one of the harshest urban environments on the planet.
The show is a new flip on log drumming of the Manus islands, heavy Krump meets traditional Sing Sing, Sound Scapes that take you deep into the jungle and back. Hauntingly beautiful Kwakumba flutes evoke the Birds of Paradise and new forms of Urban dance from West Papua and PNG. The strength & importance of the Kundu / Tifa (drum) takes it’s integral place in the show embodying Papuan identity. Embrace the sounds & energy of a new generation on the rise on Australia’s door step!
