Melville Summer Music is back for its fourth annual season of free, family-friendly concerts near you! Join us beneath the trees and lush parklands of the City of Melville to enjoy lively tunes from talented local artists – all while sharing a picnic with family and friends. For this concert, we’re excited to be joined by Zukhuta, featuring Mahamudo, Mararo and Friends!
Fresh from their musical play ‘Black Brass’, Mahamudo Selimane and Mararo Wangai have formed a new band that features vibrant songs set to a variety of African grooves.
Mahamudo, a renowned Mozambican singer and guitarist, has toured the world with his band Eyuphuro and now performs regularly in Perth, most recently with Soukouss Internationale. Mararo, a versatile Kenyan singer, actor and writer, has worked with various Australian theatres. Their album, Khululeko - meaning “freedom” in Xhangana - celebrates the universal spirit of freedom.
Joining them are John Wilson, Michael Boase, and multi-instrumentalist Tom Greble, along with Grammy-winning Lucky Oceans.
Experience the joy of Zukhuta and their transcendent music firsthand!
