Big Day Out in Harmony with MCSCA AD Off the Leash 149mm x 181 mm

Big Day Out in Harmony 

Join Alice Springs Town Coun­cil and Mul­ti­cul­tur­al Ser­vices of Cen­tral Aus­tralia to cel­e­brate our diverse community!

Each year, Mul­ti­cul­tur­al Com­mu­ni­ty Ser­vices of Cen­tral Aus­tralia invites all the local mul­ti­cul­tur­al groups and asso­ci­a­tions to par­tic­i­pate in the event and share some of their cul­ture with the wider com­mu­ni­ty. After months of rehearsals, it comes togeth­er on a day filled with colours, sounds, fra­grances and tastes from across the world.

Head­line per­for­mance by:

ChikChi­ka

Chikchi­ka fea­tures renowned Oro­mo singer-song­writer Muluu Baqqalaa with Tigrinya vocal­ists Anbessa Gebre­hi­wot and Haf­tu Reda. Accom­pa­nied by tra­di­tion­al Eritre­an and Ethiopi­an stringed instru­ments, the krar and masinko, Chikchi­ka weave impor­tant sto­ries of cul­ture, love and peace into per­cus­sion heavy and up-tem­po tunes. Mul­ti-instru­­men­­tal­ist Dale Gorfinkel, and Michael McNab on the drum kit round out this new voice in Aus­tralian music.

In recent years Chikchi­ka have been cap­ti­vat­ing crowds at promi­nent music fes­ti­vals, such as Dark Mofo, WOM­ADe­laide, Leaps & Bounds, and Brunswick Music Fes­ti­val, while also per­form­ing at icon­ic Mel­bourne venues includ­ing Forum Mel­bourne, Howler and Tramway Hotel.
