Raising Rhythms | An Electrifying Cross-Cultural Collaboration
Experience the electrifying cross-cultural collaboration of ‘Australia’s magical purveyors of the a cappella art’, Coco’s Lunch, with The Sai Brothers, as together they unite in a ground-breaking fusion of musical cultures: Raising Rhythms.
In a bold exploration of creativity, these musicians forge a distinct language and style that brings together the sublime vocal textures of Coco’s Lunch with the virtuosic rhythmic energy of renowned siblings The Sai Brothers, on mridangam, kanjira and tabla.
With Coco’s Lunch member, Dr Lisa Young’s mastery as a konnakol (South Indian vocal percussion) artist and a shared teaching lineage between Coco’s Lunch and The Sai Brothers, this collaboration unveils a new dimension of artistic expression, expanding the original work of the Coco’s Lunch composers.
Known internationally for their rhythmic prowess, ensemble-composed konnakol, soulful lyrics and skintight harmonies, Coco’s Lunch with the Sai Brothers offers a transcendent musical experience that resonates both locally and globally - and is a must-see incarnation for existing fans of Coco’s Lunch.
