Ticket Information
Sun 24 Nov
Airileke brings together a line up from PNG and First Nations Australia.
Fresh young talent direct from the streets of Port Moresby along side First Nations rappers and vocalists with one thing in common … MEGANESIA.
Before the end of the last ice age 11000 years ago Australia and Papua were one landmass … MEGANESIA. Songlines of North Australia predate this period, and speak of a time when the 2 lands were connected. Today the connection is alive and well with beat makers, producers, rappers, and dancers flowing between genres from traditional drumming to hiphop, reggae, RnB, Naka Beat, and everything in between.
Meganesia Featuring: Sorong Samarai, Sprigga Mek, Kee’ahn, Tasman Keith, Desiz, Airileke + Special guests from BLAKTIVISM
