// OYOBI
Oyobi is a project that uses live instrumentation and machines to traverse the boundaries between Afro-Latin tradition and modern analog electronica. Their music is primal, raw, and highly improvised, with an unflinching streak of bending and breaking barriers. Consisting of uniquely created sounds and atmospheres, their performances use an array of synthesisers, drum machines, percussion and bass, to create compelling analog infused polyrhythms that explore the modern application of ancient folkloric traditions
Oyobi is Vincent Sebastian (electronics, drum machines, percussion), Adm Ventoura (bass), Planeface (synths) plus featured guests.

// ODOYA’

Honouring their Afro Latino ancestry, Maitê Inaê and Marina Da Silva present Odoyá
a greeting to the Orixá, goddess of the ocean Iemanjá. A tribute to the hidden stories from west Africa to the indigenous Indians of Brazil. Into the depths of the Slave Quarters. Experience the journey of story telling and spiritual manifestations of a History kept alive through the art of dance and song.
Odoyá is a multidimensional performance using elements of visual projections which hold images and video content of South America, Native Indigenous tribes, and sacred art. Exploring folkloric stories and sounds, and traditional dances.

Another one of our recommendations for music this week featuring one of our favourite local collectives TRUE VIBENATION.

Supports: MIKE AKOX , FLY WAVES

Vivid presents, the premiere of True Vibenation’s ‘I.D’ short film and EP at Oxford Art Factory on Thursday, June 6. The genre-bending afro-electronic project features dancer Thuba Ndibali with visuals from Dark Cinema, collaborating for a special one-off performance.

Conceived as both an EP and short film project in Western Sydney with Australian film maker Vanna Seang, since then True Vibenation have taken their genre bending afro-electronic sound across the world touring and playing festivals through Africa, Europe and Australia.

‘We want people to give people the courage to be different. No matter who you are you have to be proud of your self and who you are. This project is proudly afro-Australian and we want people to be proud to share their culture too.’

Hailing from Zimbabwe, Thuba’s knowledge and skills stretch from the ‘Pantsula’ style created in Johannesburg townships to ballet, contemporary dance and a myriad of styles in between. The result is a unique fusion that mirrors True Vibenation’s own genre-bending sounds. Combined with Dark Cinema’s ability to use lighting to set mood and alter space and the result is a ride that swings between moments of elation and sombre reflection.

Vivid 2019 has officially started & for three weeks Sydney will be blessed with three weeks of MUSIC, ARTS & CULTURE and everything else that comes with it. This year’s music portion is pretty large so we thought we should share some of our recommendations & some of the events that we will be attending.

Andrew Bukenya presents Do the Spike Thing | Vivid Art After Hours: MAY 29 (This Wed) | Free Entry https://www.vividsydney.com/event/music/vivid-art-after-hours-andrew-bukenya-presents-do-spike-thing

We are so happy to see this one on the VIVID line up this year. Soul of Sydney crowd favourite ANDREW BUKENYA will present this live musical tribute to SPIKE LEE with his full band. We will be down here with a stack of friends, be sure to come down and say hello.

In a special live music tribute to Vivid Ideas Game Changer: Spike Lee (appearing on Sat 1 June at Sydney Town Hall), Andrew Bukenya and his band reinterpret the cinematic soundtracks of this provocative filmmaker and trailblazer.

Spike Lee’s movie soundtracks represent a veritable cookbook of flavours, from the nostalgia-imbued, soul stirrings of Crooklyn and the pulsating RnB of Do the right thing and the jazz-seasoned pot of Malcolm X, to the bitter-sweet melodies of Clockers and gospel-tinged spice of BlacKkKlansman. Bukenya and his band have handpicked an eclectic collection of songs that illuminate and drive some of the most memorable films in contemporary cinema.
