WAARI presents MUKI – sonic story of Blak life, land and futures. WAARI’s 5-track debut EP follows the cycles of life – birth, coming of age, death and rebirth – as they connect to cycles of family across generations and land across seasons. MUKI is a reminder that the voice is an instrument to make change and keep alive.
WAARI brings the music of MUKI to his home Naarm and back to his hometown Gimuy, with a unique liveshow experience developed with and featuring a powerful group of performers and collaborators.
The show is a soulful and immersive audio-visual experience – centring First Nations storytelling through dance and movement, art and projections, poetry and music from a full live-band. Join us as WAARI launches MUKI into the world, hoping to bring healing and transformation for his family, communities and all audiences.
Come at 7pm to see exhibited artworks from MUKI world on display.
