Black Arm Band set for China debut
Print Edition
BLACK Arm Band is bringing some incredible musicians to Shanghai for the ensemble’s China debut on Friday at Daning Theater.
Founded by Steven Richardson in 2005 with the goal of expressing the Australian Aboriginal experience and identity through music, Black Arm Band has six major productions to date. They include “Dirtsong,” “Hidden Republic” and “murundak.”
All members come from Australia and thus far more than 50 artists have performed with the group. The band takes tours to remote and regional indigenous communities.
In 2010, a documentary film, “Murundak — Songs of Freedom,” was made about the group. The film was awarded the United Nations of Australia Media Peace Prize and featured in film festivals around the globe.
The group has performed with famous singers like Kylie Minogue, Jason Mraz, Sinead O’Connor Rickie Lee Jones, Joss Stone and more.
For their Shanghai concert, 17 musicians will perform 12 songs including “Dirtsong,” “Far Away Home,” “Old Fitzroy” and “Dron Wronga” (My Island Home). They also plan to perform two Chinese songs.
Date: August 22, 7:30pm
