Do you have a taste for the exotic but can’t afford a world trip? That’s ok. We’re bringing the world to you.

From Latin to Reggae, Indian to African, Planet, on the first Saturday of every month will transport your musical senses literally to another world. With each session you might find Brazilian rhythms crossing paths with Eastern delights or cool island drums coming face to face with the heat of Salsa.

World music and world class acts. With a true globe-trotting experience like this, you won’t need a holiday.

Tibet2Timbuk2:

A Country & Eastern offering from the EthnoSuperLounge stable, world music group Tibet2Timbuk2 takes you on a journey from the meditative to the joyous with Tenzin (Tibet), Shen (tabla), and Marcello  (African guitar & further west), with special guests Peter Hunt on trumpet and renowned musician Katherine Philp on cello. Afro-Asian galloping tunes!

Tibet2Timbuk2 has an eclectic repertoire including group arrangements of Tenzin’s Tibetan songs, Marcello’s English songs, collaborative songs and instrumentals and even classical tabla solo. The overall sound is full and organic, with all three musicians sharing bass, percussion, harmony and melody roles to create a solid yet easy groove.

Tibet2Timbuk2 have performed at numerous festivals around Australia including Bellingen Global Carnival, Woodford Folk Festival and Queensland Multicultural Festival.
