Rhythm Hunters will bring their infectious dance grooves back to the Mountains for a special show at Blackheath.
A dynamite force in world roots music, adored for their frenetic drum choreographies and infectious dance grooves, Rhythm Hunters bring cutting edge physical percussion, western horns, Asian flute, deep grooves and electro beats, making them one of Australia's most exciting festival acts.
Rhythm Hunters is an assault on the senses and cannot be translated to an audio only experience. This is true for their visually captivating and signature all female Islamic percussive dance finale, renowned for leaving audiences screaming for more.
Drawing from the cultures of northern Australasia, to the traditional folk songs of Indonesia and the electro beats of cyber culture, Rhythm Hunters is a unique musical and visual act that easily slides into many genres including world, folk, groove, electronic and cultural genres.
Following a 14-month break, Rhythm Hunters returned to the stage for the Woodford Folk Festival to adoring fans and full crowds. This year, Rhythm Hunters look forward to releasing their highly anticipated new studio album, recorded by Robin Mai and produced by Nicky Bomba, as well as touring extensively around Australia and Indonesia throughout the year.
Special guest at the show will be Maizy Coombes. Coombes is an endearing violinist and singer/songwriter with a contemporary folk sound beneath wholesome lyricism.
Using a loop pedal to support herself, this unique soundscape has the ability to bring out tears yet still leave you feeling contemplative and joyous.
