FILM SCREENING - of the Music Bridges project: music camps and festivals in Vanuatu!

FIRE SHOW BY VANUA FIRE!
"Natano Pasifika" is a group of six talented traditional and contemporary Melanesian musicians who will be touring to Mozambique this May for the Music Crossroads Mozambique music camp and festivals.

"Natano" is a word in Namaku language from Tongoa island in Vanuatu. It means 'our land'. The name Natano Pasifika was chosen by the group to represent the Pacific islands as land rising from the ocean. With instruments including the bush bass, ukulele, bamboo flute, guitar, tamtam and navarange, and traditional songs and traditional 'Kastom' dancing, Natano Pasifika display some of the rhythms and styles of Vanuatu and the South Pacific.

The group is made up of traditional and contemporary musicians from Vanuatu and Kanaky including Mars Melto (Malakula island), Tio bang (Ambrym island), Yaya (Kanaky/New Caledonia), Anthony Roy (Gaua island), Robert (Tongoa island) and Gordy (Vanua Lava island).

They have been selected through the Music Bridges project by Further Arts and Canal Studio for the Music Crossroads music camp and events to be held in Maputo, Mozambique in May 2014.
