This dynamic group features vocalists, guitarists, keyboardists, bassists, drummers and additional instrumentalists performing reimagined popular hits, original compositions, and collaborative works that showcase the intersection between mainstream accessibility and experimental techniques.West African DrumsThe West African Drum Ensemble performs music from the drumming traditions of Senegal and Ghana, featuring repertoire from the Wolof, Ga, Ashanti and Anlo Ewe cultures. At the centre is the djembe, a versatile hand drum played with bare hands, supported by bass drums, bells and rattles, with songs in Wolof. The music is driven by layered rhythms and the interplay of contrasting timbres, with bell patterns anchoring the ensemble’s vibrant, interlocking sound.Balinese GamelanThe Balinese gamelan at UNSW is a variation of the semar pegulingan type, a gong-chime ensemble consisting of up to thirty players. The UNSW ensemble consists of metallophones, gongs and other instruments, such as flutes, fiddles, drums and cymbals. This type of gamelan music is based on a seven-tone scale and can be used to perform a diverse repertoire including contemporary gong kebyar compositions.This event is presented by the  with assistance from the .FAQ'sGETTING TO UNSWClick here for information on getting to UNSW including maps and public transport details.Public transport and parkingThe Esme Timbery Creative Practice Lab is easily accessible via public transport and the closest light rail stop is UNSW Anzac Parade (L3 line).
