WELCOME TO AWME 2012

It may be a long way to the top, to quote AC/DC, but the Australasian Worldwide Music Expo has certainly covered a lot of distance in just five years. AWME has established itself as a key event on the music calendar and a destination for artists, industry insiders and music lovers to come together to experience great music from across the globe.

This year local artists across all genres will share the stages with artists from more than ten countries including Mali, Nigeria, Italy and Jamaica. As well as a forum for musicians to connect with new audiences, AMWE is a significant marketplace, attracting international bookers, programmers and industry representatives and generating touring, recording and performance opportunities for artists.

So to all participating artists and audiences – enjoy AWME 2012. Your music journey starts here.

Welcome to the fifth annual Australasian Worldwide Music Expo (AWME). In five short years, AWME has quickly become a cornerstone marketplace for Australia’s music sector, attracting artists and organisations from across Australia, the Asia�Pacific and Indian Ocean regions, as well as Europe and North America.

This year delivers yet another fantastic program, which includes the much anticipated world premiere of Archie Roach’s Into The Bloodstream. We’re delighted to share this with representatives from some of the world’s leading festivals and world music events.

The Australia Council is proud to be a principle partner of this event. We wish you a wonderful AWME 2012!

Welcome to my country, the land of the great bay of the Boonerwurung people, our beautiful home. On behalf of the Boonerwurung, a clan of the greater Kulin nations, I welcome you to our land.

Today Melbourne is a great multicultural city of the world and this special place continues to carry forward the spirit of our tradition. This land will always be protected by the creator, Bunjil, who travels as an eagle, and by Waarn, who protects the waterways and travels as a crow.

As the spirit of my ancestors lives, let the wisdom and the spirit of generosity which Bunjil taught us influence the opportunities that may arise at this meeting place.

THE BAMBOOS ELECTRIC EMPIRE


Bandleader Lance Ferguson and his nine�piece Melbourne outfit The Bamboos have come a long way since forming in 2001. Initially inspired by the instrumental raw funk of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, they made waves internationally and have subsequently been labelled one of the greatest funk and soul bands of our time. • Taking cues from the likes of James and Aretha, as well as New York’s banging modern soul scene, Saskwatch smash out their live shows hard, rough and tight – just like the old days. Leading the nine�piece Melbourne soul explosion is singer, Nkechi Anele, who adeptly takes audiences on a journey from the depths of heartache to overwhelming joy in just one show. • Echoing the likes of Curtis Mayfield and Donny Hathaway, Electric Empire brings a funked�up neo�soul twist to the old�school sound. The Melbourne based three�piece deliberately shunned high�end digital sound on their recordings, opting for warm analogue�smooth compositions. Having played Glastonbury in 2010, the band is continuing to make an indelible mark on the music scene both locally and abroad. • Queensland�based multi�instrumentalist Dave Dow seamlessly blends roots, soul, R&B, gospel, jazz, funk and down ‘n’ dirty Motown sounds, creating a

He plays the music he loves and wants the world to know about it – from the cool sound of James Brown to the Temptations and everything in between. • PBS Radio’s Zack Rampage is one of Melbourne’s most versatile DJs. Zack spins everything from the best of old school hip�hop to down and dirty funk and soul. His weekly PBS 106.7FM radio program Rampage is an aural beat laden expedition, spanning the birth of rap to the explosion of golden era grooves.

I Viaggiatori play lively, old time Italian folk music from the 19th century and beyond. It’s romantic, poignant, frenzied, sweet and earthy. It’s a place where memory sits down with imagination to share a good coffee and a glass of grappa then have a good yarn. Their performance will be accompanied by a screening of Dall’Italia All’Australia (From Italy to Australia) – a black and white silent film of 60 minutes duration commissioned by the acclaimed Italian film producer Stefano Pittaluga, which first screened in Italy in May 1925. • Officina Zoe was started in the early 1990s by Lamberto Probo, Donatello Pisanello and Cinzia Marzo.

Formed in 1968, Jamaica’s legendary roots trio The Abyssinians are renowned for their close vocal harmonies and conscious lyrics. The group’s first song Satta Massagana – recorded in Clement “Coxone” Dodd’s infamous Studio One – was a highly acclaimed international hit and became known as reggae’s national anthem. Since its debut in 1969, nearly every producer in reggae has remade Satta. Today The Abyssinians remain one of the last touring original reggae outfits. Their uplifting live show is testament to the simple beauty and transformative power of roots�reggae music. • One of Jamaica’s most outstanding vocal talents, Johnny Clarke’s big success came in the 1970s after he teamed up with producer Bunny Lee.

MANA MAORI TO THE WORLDThe Maori language is one of the most endangered in the world. Only 4 percent of the total New Zealand population can speak Maori and just under a quarter of Maori people can hold a conversation in Maori.

In the last two decades, there has been a renaissance of Maori culture, language and identity. Contemporary Maori music has been an outlet for the rise of waiata (songs) that reflect the social, cultural and political changes in Aotearoa New Zealand. Waiata Maori has developed organically leading to a rich diversity of musical expression with one common feature – the Maori language.

This panel explores the recent history of contemporary Maori music, the diversity of Maori musical expression, a framework that ties it all together and the Maori music industry’s international aspirations. Live performances from Waiata Maori artists: Wai, Apanui, Kirsten Te Rito and Iwi highlight the first wave of Waiata Maori artists taking Mana Maori to the World.

MUSIC FROM THE PACIFICPresented by AWME & Pacific Women’s Weaving Circle

The Australian Pacific voice is a unique one. Living on Indigenous land, the history of the slave trading and current migration has lead to diverse communities expressing themselves and maintaining culture through different practices. In recent years Australia has seen a surge of Pacific artists coming together to create and share their experiences through music and art.

This forum will discuss how Pacific Australian artists have explored contemporary Pacific issues through their practice, and in the process have not only enhanced their own personal, artistic and cultural lives, but also acted as change agents for their communities.
