WAARI PRESENTS MUKI

WAARI presents MUKI – sonic story of Blak life, land and futures. WAARI’s 5-track debut EP follows the cycles of life – birth, coming of age, death and rebirth – as they connect to cycles of family across generations and land across seasons. MUKI is a reminder that the voice is an instrument to make change and keep alive. 

WAARI brings the music of MUKI to his home Naarm and back to his hometown Gimuy, with a unique liveshow experience developed with and featuring a powerful group of performers and collaborators. 

The show is a soulful and immersive audio-visual experience – centring First Nations storytelling through dance and movement, art and projections, poetry and music from a full live-band. Join us as WAARI launches MUKI into the world, hoping to bring healing and transformation for his family, communities and all audiences.

With collaborators:
