Songs From Home

Ethno Presents A special evening of local and international musicians presents songs that speak to them of their homeland. Mamacila has returned to the lineup after stunned silence followed their lush harmonies at our previous ethno performance. Diego Lopez will perform a suite from Chile, and a duet collaboration featuring Taonga Puoro, traditional maori instruments. Poutama, a 8+ group of girls from Otumoetai College will stun listeners with raw vocal harmonies and sublime young talent. Southbound this brother and sister duet have been performing together for several years and will connect with lovers of our local scene. The Hantler Family Has been infrequently performing for over 25 years. It is a delight to hear a rare performance from this family usually reserved for family occasions, weddings/funerals etc. see the fruits of a musical upbringing. This concert is fundraising for Jeremy Hantler's trip to Ethnofonik in France, in preparation for Ethno New Zealand in January. Supported by Creative New Zealand.
