Brace yourselves for an exhilarating and otherworldly musical odyssey, as Australia's acclaimed folk/world music sensation, MZAZA bring their unique sound to Armidale as part of a tour taking the multi-award winning band to Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales and the Northern Territory.

Guided by enchanting French vocalist Pauline (2023 Australian Folk Music Awards Artist of the Year), these remarkable musicians and songwriters hailing from diverse corners of the globe recently won their third Queensland Music Award for their music, which features vocal harmonies, accordion, violin, shah kaman, percussion, drum kit, double bass, and guitar.

‘Songlines Magazine’ calls their latest studio album ‘The Birth & Death of Stars’, which was recorded in Athens, “A supernova of an album” Recorded in Greece and drawing inspiration from astronomy, philosophy and mythology, MZAZA's third album was released in 2020 and explores what links us to each other and the world around us.

With an aesthetic said to recall the free-spirited romanticism of Lhasa de Sela or redoubtable France-based collective Lo’Jo (who also blend Gypsy music with jazz, French chanson and Spanish and North African rhythms using a swag of instruments from all over), MZAZA take audiences on an unforgettable journey.

Since its inception 20 years ago, MZAZA has received three Queensland Music Awards for Best Song (World) and lead singer Pauline Maudy is the 2023 Australian Folk Music Awards Artist of the Year.

This project is supported by the Australian Government through Creative Australia.
