This supergroup comes together in a vibrant, joyful celebration of culture from Melanesia and First Nations Australia. Sing Sing is a tok pidgin word from Papua New Guinea meaning a large musical gathering, a celebration in song and dance, a music party. Sixteen of the finest musicians from Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Australia will join forces with Pitjantjatjara elder Uncle Frank Yamma and PNG music legend Sir George Telek. The musicians each share songs and stories from their culture and language, accompanying each other and collaborating to find new levels of connection, under the artistic direction of seven-time ARIA award winner David Bridie. The Sing Sing ensemble has performed at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics, at the Sydney Opera House Message Sticks Festival and Boomerang Festival, as well as tours throughout Melanesia, Europe, and the USA.
