Wan Solwora MUSIC

Brisbane Powerhouse Presents Planet:
Wan Solwora MUSIC

Featuring George Telek And The Narasirato Pan Pipers, Directed By David Bridie. Wan Solwora translates as One Ocean, One People and is an unforgettable celebration of the sound, the music and the spirit of the Melanesian islands of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. With a captivating blend of bamboo pipes, bush bass, the polyrhythmic pulse of the ukulele and soaring traditional voices, ARIA Award winning George Telek and his band are joined by the Narasirato Pan Pipers and special guest Jeremy Jongsma in this energetic and joyous concert. Telek is a band, a man and, in some parts of the world, a legend. He has been at the forefront of the Papua New Guinea music scene for more than twenty years. Surrounded by virgin rainforest and idyllic lagoons, the Narasirato Pan Pipers live at the end of a mangrove forest in the Solomon Islands. Their swooping vocals, wooden drums, conch shells and dance create an uplifting and unique performance, praised by audiences for its pure energy. Together they create the magical energy, beauty and sound of the islands right here in Brisbane.
