Throw in a cooking pot the dynamite Indo Pacific force of Rhythm Hunters and the original didgeridoo dance music of Wild Marmalade, stir a little…put it in a massive cave and you have RHYTHM UNDERGROUND…2014. A spectacle in every sense, sound

Rhythm Hunters is an ever-evolving project that has carved a reputation as a group that knows no boundaries. Massive Japanese Drums to songs from remote Indonesia, smooth dance grooves and subtle electronics, the spectrum of sound is the imagination. Performing countdown to the New Year on The Woodford Folk Festival's Amphitheatre to Carols in the Domain and The Sydney Opera House, Rhythm Hunters new world tribal music has a reverence and a love of tradition that transcends age and genre. As a tight ensemble of 3 drummers to an orchestra of 16 players this will knock you out. "Rhythm Hunters shone and inspired, the intensity of the drums, combined with the poetics of dance and martial arts was irresistible". Lisa - Maree Botticelli (Australian Stage Online)

Wild Marmalade is synonymous with high-energy, inspired and uniquely Australian dance music. Having toured the world for the last 13 years they are the pioneers of the didgeridoo and drum sound. The primal power of the didgeridoo activates deep into the body and the beat of the drums inspires movement touching people in a universal way. From Cirque du Soleil to the biggest clubs and festivals of the world Wild Marmalade have touched a global audience, creating a unique, powerful and deeply moving experience. "... the most uplifting, energetic live performance I saw in my life......A unique experience." Benoit Jutras (Cirque Du Soleil)

The Dream Drone is a unique sound created by playing the didgeridoo in a special way. This ancient instrument has the capacity to produce the primordial sound of creation and the Dream Drone expresses this primal power to it's full potential. Dream Drone is not restricted by structured rhythm and linear melody. It functions purely by virtue of spontaneous vibration moving freely through open space, transforming the breath and intent of the player into surging waves of sound that resonate throughout the room and saturate body and mind with its primordial pulse.

INCREDIBLE LOCATION

The grand arch in Jenolan Caves will host RHYTHM UNDERGROUND. There is no better location for a sound experience, a dance experience, a concert, a party than this huge natural sound resonator, a massive theatre made of stone, a visual spectacle with rugged walls going up and up into the ether where stalactites delicately that hang and bats fly beyond reach. Jenolan is the oldest underground caves system in the world; the acoustics are on par with any of the world's greatest concert halls but the atmosphere is still and ancient. A sound will be heard indefinitely is bounces of rock up into eventual silince. This is Rhythm Hunters fourth Caves show and it will be the best. In 2014 we brought you Grandmaster shakuhachi player Riley Lee, this year we bring Wild Marmalade. Jenolan Caves is only 4 hours drive from Sydney, nestled deeply in the Blue Mountains World Heritage wilderness
