Overview

Despite Brisbane being one of Australia's most vibrant art and culture hubs, world music isn't the first thing people seek out on a Friday evening. That's a little shocking, so the Triffid is about to change the situation.

A Night of World Music features three of Australia's most exciting, up-and-coming bands who all fall under that super-broad genre of world music, i.e. music produced in developing countries, with occasional western influence. If 'Graceland' just popped into your head, then you're kind of on the right track.

The night will be headlined by MZAZA, one of Australia's most individual bands, as lead by acclaimed French-Sephardic vocalist Pauline Maudy and made up of cultural refugees from Bosnia, Latvia, Greece, Turkey, France, Sephardic Spain and Australia. They'll be joined 25-piece street band Unusual Suspects as well as Brazilian bossa nova act Coisa Linda.

Get into the spirit of world music and head along to this unique and diverse night at The Triffid. Tickets cost $18.70 and the evening kicks off at 7.30pm.
