Event description

PROGRAM

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 groundbreaking 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.

Coco’s Lunch with the Sai Brothers premiered in 2023 at Melbourne Recital Centre to a standing ovation and a 4-star review in The Age.
