Narasirato Pan Pipers + Telek
Melbourne Recital Centre
Friday, April 9, 2010 at 7:30 p.m.
Superb double bill featuring the dynamic Narasirato Pan Pipers (Solomon Islands) and internationally acclaimed singer Telek (Papua New Guinea).
The Narasirato Pan Pipers come from the remote Malaita Island and live a traditional subsistence lifestyle whilst pursuing their passion for music, song and dance. The group is reviving many of the old traditions to add to their extensive repertoire of traditional music, as well as creating their own unique contemporary sound. http://www.narasirato.com
George Telek, known simply as ‘Telek’, has received glowing reviews from around the world. His songs and his haunting voice traverse many musical styles, blending contemporary grooves with Melanesian rhythms and perfectly capturing the spirit of the proud cultural heritage of the Tolai people.
Telek will be joined by his Melanesian super-band, with long time collaborators David Bridie, Airi Ingram, Richard Mogu, Phil Wales and Ben Hakalitz — a powerful PNG line up! http://www.telek.com
