Melbourne International Jazz Festival and Leaps and Bounds Music Festival present a night of Afro Jazz and beats at the Abbotsford Convent. After a hugely successful collaboration in Burnley Park over summer, Yarra is teaming up with Melbourne International Jazz Festival yet again for an unmissable night of body-moving music featuring The Experience and Ausecuma Beats.
The Experience brings together future legendary musicians heading into the prime of their careers. Inspired by his father's words to share culture as a way to bring encouragement following the challenges of 2020, ZII, who is also a talented rapper/poet and founder, set out to write music that would bring life to a world that journeyed through a global pandemic and a racial reckoning, to say the least.
Ausecuma Beats are more than just a band, they are a philosophy. Led by their fearless bandleader and master djembe player, Boubacar Gaye, the nine-strong ensemble demonstrate what can happen when a group of artists come together based on an idea – in this case, the idea of place, of transplanting cultural heritage into a contemporary city.
Afrosphere is supported by On the Road Again, a Victorian Government initiative to bring live music back across the state.
This is a licensed event. Under 18s must be supervised by an adult.
