How African beats are connecting Australian audiences

Music plays an integral role across all cultures around the globe, and to celebrate its importance, Brisbane Festival’s Moorooka Block Party showcased many multicultural performers.

One band is committed to entertaining and engaging people of all walks of life with inspiring music from Southern Africa. The Sydney-based Echoes of African Music performed on the day, grooving crowds with their beats.
