LINEUP INFO

Immy Owusu is a Naarm-based Afro Psychedelia artist from the surf town of Torquay, with Ghanaian roots. He calls his sound "Afrodelik", a fusion of psych, Zamrock and West African Highlife. It's earned airplay on KEXP, Worldwide FM, NPR and Bandcamp Weekly, and his live band is a soul-invigorating show.

Paul A. George, of Tijana Cartel, makes music to move to and meditate to. Shaped by time in India studying sitar and years in the south of Spain learning flamenco, he brings a multicultural approach to guitar and a serious appetite for deep, bassy grooves.

Moussa Diakite is a Malian-born guitarist, singer and composer who has played with the Afro-Latin Rail Band and alongside kora master Toumani Diabate. He's joined by Malin Sylla on 21-string kora, a Guinean player who has performed at London's Royal Festival Hall. Together they deliver a soulful, transporting set of West African tradition.

The Condiments are a South Coast world music collective led by songwriter Jacob Woods, mixing folk, jazz and swing into a sound built to make you dance. Come dip your ears in their musical sauce!

Elemental Grooves brings the joy of African drumming to life, with high-energy, Guinea-inspired drumming led by Damion. No experience needed, just bring your hands and get into the groove.
