Fay Stewart-Muir Boon Wurrung Elder Welcome to Country
Simon Raynor Director Australasian Worldwide Music Expo
WELCOME TO AWME 2013
In just six years, the Australasian Worldwide Music Expo has grown to be a go�to event on the international music calendar – this year’s program is no exception.
Bringing together musicians, programmers, bookers and industry representatives, AWME is a place for the global music community to learn from each other, to foster new connections and create opportunities. The exciting public program – which this year features performances by Indigenous Australian and international artists from Ireland to Ethiopia is also an opportunity for musicians from across the globe to connect with local audiences.
The Victorian Government has played a role in the AWME story from the beginning and we are proud to support AWME 2013 as part of our ongoing commitment to building and strengthening Victoria’s contemporary music sector.
I’m very pleased to be welcoming you to the 6th annual Australasian Worldwide Music Expo. Every year, AWME’s reputation as a leading world and roots music event grows, and this year is no exception. The event provides a unique opportunity for industry collaborations and knowledge sharing, as well as showcasing a talented line�up of artists throughout the live music program.
The 2013 program includes an incredibly diverse range of acts and speakers from around the world. From the internationally acclaimed Barefoot Divas, who will be sharing their special brand of music magic on Opening Night, to the wonderfully infectious rhythms of The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra who will get you dancing at the Closing Party, I have no doubt you will be impressed by the breadth and quality of this year’s artists.
The Australia Council for the Arts is proud to be a principle partner of this event.
I wish you a wonderful AWME 2013!
Womin djeka miram beek beek Boon wurrung nairm derp borupton utter willam.
Welcome to the traditional land of the Boon wurrung peoples, the land of the Great Bay, Port Phillip Bay, a clan of the Greater Kulin Nations.
Bundjil our spiritual leader and protector, who travels as an eagle together with Waang, who protects our waterways and travels as a crow, ensures our traditional land will always be protected by them.
In the spirit of generosity that our ancestors taught us, welcome to you all.
As Melbourne is such a vibrant and multicultural city that continues to welcome people from many cultures to share their love of the arts in so many genres, this will be showcased throughout the festival for all to partake in. I hope that you can be involved in as many different genres of the arts as you can to experience the diversity. Enjoy.
I’m certain that everyone attending this event will take away great memories and new friendships with them when the festival comes to an end, so that when you leave, only leave your footprints behind but take those great memories with you.
Womin djeka ba ngerren murrumbuna.

• As so often happens, a chance meeting, a random jam, results in something far more than just the forging of a new friendship. So it happened for Nick Milwright and Damian Cazaly, who after a fortuitous encounter in 2005, came to form Melbourne group Blackchords. Their resulting brand of darkly majestic pop has grown organically over the past seven years, as has their audience and acclaim, the band releasing their eponymous debut in 2009, touring Europe, garnering praise and award nominations both here and abroad.

• It might seem natural to place Admiral Fallow beside certain purveyors of what’s become bracketed as nu�folk, but the outfit is as much a new chapter in the continuing history of remarkable independent voices as it is aligning itself with topical trends. The end product is of an entirely organic design, and certainly not to be confused with coattail�riding revisionists. • Mànran's music is a unique and powerful blend of Gaelic and English, traditional and contemporary. The band is one of few worldwide to use both Highland and Uilleann pipes and combines these with accordion, fiddle, flute and a mix of drum and bass to create an infectious and recognisable sound.

Inspired by the infectious afro�beat music of Nigeria and its neighbours, The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra delivers a homespun version of contemporary African funk. This mammoth ensemble comprises seventeen musicians hand�picked from Melbourne’s music scene.
• The Cactus Channel make soul music, baby, but not as we know it. The backbeat and the handclaps are still there and the horns still sound. The bass bumps, the organ screams and the guitars still twang, but the singer has left the room. Everything is shades of blue. This is soul music for the after hours. • Dereb Desalegn (aka Dereb The Ambassador) is well known on the streets of Addis Ababa as one of Ethiopia’s most respected singers. Born in Ethiopia, Dereb grew up amongst a family of musicians, completely immersed in his home country’s rich melange of sounds, rhythms and musical styles. Dereb and his 8�piece band woo crowds with their gritty, addictive brand of Ethio�soul. • The mysterious afro�soul of The Shaolin Afronauts first echoed across the dance floors of Australia in late 2008. Heavily inspired by the sounds of 1970’s West Africa, Ethiopia and the pioneering avant�garde jazz

artists of the same period, the Shaolin Afronauts draw on this highly innovative and sometimes volatile era in music, using it as inspiration to create music with the same fire and intensity. Their spirited performances have fast gained a reputation as some of the most exciting live shows around. • Chris Gill loves funk music. He loves it so much he started a funk record store 10 years ago in Melbourne. It's called Northside Records. It is the soul of Melbourne. Chris has been dj'ing in Fitzroy and around the world for well over 20 years, doing festivals and bar gigs, international tours, primary school fetes and the Thursday lunchtime slot on RRR radio. Fun can be found in the funniest places. • Miss Goldie plays down and dirty funk along with scorching soul, ranging from deep, sweet, crossover to northern and R&B.

So it happened for Nick Milwright and Damian Cazaly, who after a fortuitous encounter in 2005, came to form Melbourne group Blackchords. Their resulting brand of darkly majestic pop has grown organically over the past seven years, as has their audience and acclaim, the band releasing their eponymous debut in 2009, touring Europe, garnering praise and award nominations both here and abroad. Their release of A Thin Line in 2013 sees the band evolving and exploring, crawling out of the primordial ooze, growing legs and walking, running, towards the next stage in their growth and musical expansion.
