| Written by Heather Maraki | | Local String Band - Shakura, have just returned from performing at the Australasian World Music Expo recently held in Melbourne, Victoria. Reports from Radio Australia said “Shakura impressed the Melbourne Recital Centre's audience with their 'jangling', lively and occasionally amorous songs” Acoustically it was a world away from how they are used to hearing the band, with the auditorium's high ceilings and open design reflecting the group's sound brightly. AWMW is a unique event which has been described as the 'South by South West' of World and Indigenous music. By day AWME is a trade fair which attracts some of the world's most prominent and influencial festival bookers, talent agents, record labels and media workshops, panel discussions snf industry networking. |
