This weekend..... we begin.... 🧡🦋✨️🪇🌴🎶
This Friday 28 Sept.
And so it begins… with a beautiful and extraordinary evening of culture, connection and expression.
Step inside, settle into the space and allow yourself to be carried by story, language, harmony and truth. This is an invitation to listen deeply, feel openly and immerse yourself in the voices of the oldest continuing living culture on earth.
Our opening night of VOICES OF KIN…
BAMA UNPLUGGED
Proudly presented and programmed by Creative Bama Connections
NAURITA BRISCOE & RAHNAE
With strong links to Kuku Yalanji, Naurita Briscoe featuring RAHNAE bring together generations of song, family and story, uniting in song and spirit for healing, connection and the continuation of culture.
As one third of the Briscoe Sisters, Naurita has carried language through song from the beginning of her musical journey, with culture, family and connection always at the heart of her work.
RAHNAE continue that story in their own way, bringing their young voices to stages including Sunshine Coast Chamber Music Festival, Cairns Festival and Blaktivism, and singing alongside their family as part of Generations and Dynasties.
Together, mother and daughters share the strength of family, language and music — honouring what has come before while carrying their songs forward for the next generation.
TAUSALA REA
They are a sister duo living on Gimuy, proudly carrying their roots from the Tableland Yidinji tribe and Samoa. Their sound blends soulful melodies with the spirit of gospel, shaped by the stories, culture and connections that guide them. Through their songs, the sisters share their journey with the hope of bringing comfort, joy and healing to those who listen."
Creative Bama Connections brings First Nations artists, cultural expression and community together through thoughtfully created performances and experiences grounded in storytelling, connection and healing.
We can't wait for you to experience the warmth, beauty and power of Bama Unplugged - and begin Voices of Kin together.
