Brace yourselves for an exhilarating and otherworldly musical odyssey, as Australia’s acclaimed Folk/World music sensation, MZAZA bring their unique sound to Yeppoon Town Hall on the 25th of August 2024 for a free concert and workshops.

The show is part of a national tour that is taking the multi-award winning band to Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales and the Northern Territory during a two and a half month tour spanning August to October 2024 that will see the 6 piece ensemble visit over 19 major venues and arts festivals, including Darwin Festival, New Annual Festival in Newcastle, and the North Australian Festival of Arts in Townsville.

Guided by enchanting French vocalist Pauline (2023 Australian Folk Music Awards Artist of the Year), these remarkable musicians and songwriters hailing from diverse corners of the globe recently won their third Queensland Music Award for their music, which features vocal harmonies, accordion, violin, shah kaman, percussion, drum kit, double bass, and guitar.

‘Songlines Magazine’ calls their latest studio album ‘The Birth & Death of Stars’, which was recorded in Athens, “A supernova of an album” Recorded in Greece and drawing inspiration from astronomy, philosophy and mythology, MZAZA’s third album was released in 2020 and explores what links us to each other and the world around us.

While on tour, MZAZA will also conduct free community workshops for local musicians and singers of any age and skill level.

With an aesthetic said to recall the free-spirited romanticism of Lhasa de Sela or redoubtable France-based collective Lo’Jo (who also blend Gypsy music with jazz, French chanson and Spanish and North African rhythms using a swag of instruments from all over), MZAZA are sure to take residents of the region on an unforgettable and uplifting  journey.
