The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra play Melbourne
Inspired by the infectious afro-beat music of Nigeria and its neighbours, The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra will deliver their unique, contemporary blend of hip hop and African funk at Yah Yah’s in Fitzroy on Wednesday October 8.
The ensemble comprises of fifteen musicians hand-picked from Melbourne’s African, jazz and hip-hop scenes, including past and present members of Musiki Manjaro, LABJACD, Illzilla, Mista Savona, Diafrix, Blue King Brown, 1200 Techniques and Grilla Step. The experience and creativity of these well-established professional musicians contributes to the group’s original compositions.
Currently recording their debut album Lo-life, which is set for release later this year, the group will play a very special show at Yah Yah’s next Wednesday, before opening the Melbourne International Arts Festival at Federation Square the following evening.
