ICON OF AUSTRALIAN SUDANESE MUSIC

Hailing from South Sudan, Ajak Kwai is a name well known to the Australian music and stage community for her powerful performances that call for inclusion and celebration of diversity.

Performing in English, Arabic, and her native language, Dinka, her music draws upon South Sudanese funk and blues and brings elements of traditional music alongside more contemporary gestures. The result is something notably, unique, powerful and uplifting. 

Ajak Kwai is joined by a band of exceptional standards, including musicians Matthew Erickson, Kanyakumar Shome (Silent Jay, REMI, The Bamboos, Cat Empire, Sampa the Great) and Kofi Kunkpe, with guests Maria Moles (Jaala, Jonnine (HTRK), Mildlife), Gabriela Georges, Boubacar Gaye (Ausecuma Beats) and with guest vocals from Allysha Joy.

Don't miss a chance to see this invigorating and world renowned artist!!
