Visible Volume 3
Multicultural Arts Victoria presents a 2008 musical snapshot of Melbourne’s many diverse cultures...
In 2008 the Visible project has seen a boom of new talent from African, West Papuan, East Timorese and Indigenous communities coming on board and getting together to create a world class album with producers Nicky Bomba, Airi Ingram and Momo (Diafrix).
The album includes fifteen tracks that cover an amazing range of styles from Afro beat, to gospel, to Saharan blues reggae, songs from the tropics, hip hop, rnb, soul and the pulsing rhythms of the ancient Mandinka empire in West Africa.
