Closes 11 August 2023, 9 am MIFF and 3RRR Present: "Abebe – Butterfly Song" this Sunday August 13 at See the world premiere of Abebe – Butterfly Song at the Melbourne international Film Festival, which will be followed by a short Q&A leading into a very special live performance by David Bridie, George Telek and their long-time collaborator Phil Wales. This promises to be a magical afternoon where film, cultures, friendships and music harmoniously collide. Discover the musical legacy and enduring friendship between celebrated Papuan musician George Telek and Not Drowning, Waving’s David Bridie. In 1986, Melbourne musician David Bridie of the groups Not Drowning, Waving and My Friend the Chocolate Cake travelled to Papua New Guinea, where he heard the heartfelt sounds of George Telek and the Moab Stringband’s ‘Abebe’ (‘Butterfly Song’) on board a bus. It marked the beginning of a profound fascination with the nation and its rich culture – and of a bond with Telek that would last more than 30 years. Together, their collaboration on critically acclaimed albums and tours has helped amplify Papuan stringband sounds and languages like Tok Pisin and Kuanua outside of the country.
