'South Of Sydney' Touring Circuit presents...

WORLDS COLLIDE
PINEAL + JOHN MASON (USA)

FREE ENTRY - (RSVP via link)

SUNDAY 27th OCTOBER 2024
4pm - THE SERVO, PORT KEMBLA

Straight out of the urban jungles of Western Sydney... Riffs, Rhymes and Culture.

Worlds Collide is the intersection of our multicultural nation, seven cultures coming together creating new contemporary Australian music. They weave a global and contemporary sound into their infectious music, fusing culture, hip hop rhymes, grooves, melodic hooks and languages into a fun, authentic and powerful experience.

The seven-piece outfit couldn’t be more diverse if it tried. Featuring Uyghur bard Shohrat Tursun whose vocal power channels the ancients from the Silk Road, Yaw Derkyi (Ghana) on percussion and vocals, Uruguayan drummer Juan Andres, Ian 'Esky' Escandor (Philippines) is emcee with Maria Mitar on vocals. Alongside Western Sydney sound pioneer Richard Petkovic producer/guitarist, is award winning bassist Jonathan Nanlohy, from Ambon, Indonesia.

At the core of their message is inclusivity, cultural pride, and a celebration of diversity, with their music elevated by the socially conscious rhymes of ESKY MC from the streets of Mount Druitt, making them uniquely Australian. Their live set packs a powerful punch erupting audiences into enthusiastic dance, call and response and chants.

From their debut performance on a car park rooftop at the immersive Sydney Sacred Music Festival launch in 2017, to the launch of their ARIA nominated Album, Global Community, they have steered an impressive trajectory through their own hard work and independent commitment.
