The concert presents 14 of the finest musicians from Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Australia featuring Pitjantjatjara elder Uncle Frank Yamma and PNG music legend Sir George Telek. The musicians each share songs and stories from their culture and language, accompanying each other and collaborating to find new levels of connection, under the artist direction of David Bridie.
