PNG born songstress Heru Pinkasova & bona fide beatboxer Dr Rhythm will be recalling the good and sometimes dodgy wisdom of our aunties. You know, we all have that one Aunty … But what is an aunty? My sista reckons it’s any woman who cares for you, inspires or comforts you. We’ll be looking back at great women of colour in music, like Aunty Ella, Aunty Dame Kiri & Aunty Leontyn.

Now this Aunty, Heru, will also be getting an up-grade on her operatic rep with Dr Rhythm, who’ll be dropping the bass & mixing it up, covering everything from Islander tunes of childhood to Puccini’s Turandot (evil aunty), Verdi’s The Force of Destiny & Wagner’s Tannhäuser.

Laugh, cry, be amazed by the human voice, and the comfort it brings.
