NOT DROWNING, WAVING + TELEK

AUSTRALIA/PAPUA NEW GUINEA

PERFORMANCES

Melbourne’s art-rock pioneers Not Drowning, Waving, led by David Bridie, reunite with renowned Papua New Guinean musician George Telek to celebrate 35 years of Tabaran. Inspired by the rhythms of Rabaul, a culturally-rich town in PNG, the album fuses the band’s avant-garde pop-rock with local harmonies, melodies, and instruments. Their WOMAD Aotearoa performance unites original Tabaran musicians with dynamic new talent from PNG and Australia, honouring both the album’s legacy and PNG’s upcoming 50th anniversary of independence. Don’t miss this extraordinary cross-cultural collaboration.
