Last Saturday night, Clare and I went to a show put on during the Hong Kong Arts Festival.
"Five women. Five distinct life stories tied to the complex history of
Australia, NewZealand, and Papua New Guinea’s Indigenous people.
Much
more than a concert, this mix of poetry, song and storytelling is a
celebration of cultures, countries, spiritual connections and languages.
Proud and secure in their own heritages, Barefoot Divas’ mission is to
empower and educate women and young people across the globe about human
rights.
Bold, brash and backed by a powerhouse four-piece band,
the Divas perform original, deeply felt compositions that swing between
acoustic roots, jazz, R&B, and Latin-infused soul in a fusion of
Aboriginal languages, English and Maori."
It was a great show and the music was just beautiful. It was wonderful that these five women sang together in each others' languages and shared their heritage with us.
