Sing Sing @ Auckland Festival 2009

Sing Sing honours the songlines of Oceania. It celebrates the links between diverse yet connected nations as "one saltwater people" and brings together the region's most significant singers, musicians and dancers. Sing Sing is a concert that interweaves a dynamic mix of traditional and contemporary musical forms from downbeat acoustic soul to tear-jerking ballads.

International Sing Sing performers are joined for this event by Maori and Pacific Island artists for a journey through the landscape and texture of urban and village life. Accompanying projections and aural soundscapes add to the spectacle and capture a sense of place. The concert is an exhilarating wall of sound with pulsating slit log drumming, dynamic walls of choral vocals and sublime world fusion grooves.
