Almanac Music: Hamoris Lian Timor – Concert Tour

HAMORIS LIAN TIMOR

Hamoris Lian Timor (Reviving the Sound of Timor) showcases the songs, music, dances, and stories of Timor Leste and is an initiative that captures the rich cultural tapestry of Timor Leste.

Their mission is:

to preserve ancient traditions, share the poignant stories of women who endured the long struggle for independence, and celebrate the uplifting melodies of songs about life, love, and challenges, the unique beauty of Timor’s music and culture. This project is led by individuals with deep familial and cultural ties to Timor Leste and is bolstered by the Wantok Musik Foundation’s strong and enduring connections with the artistic community there. It builds upon a collaboration called Maubere Timor, which focused on recording, releasing, and performing significant historical resistance songs by Timorese veterans.

 

In August 2025, concerts to showcase the Hamoris Lian Timor project will embark on an Australian tour. Dates and venues are listed below.
