Lamine Sonko & Pirritu at Altona Theatre
For one night only at Altona Theatre, composer, director and multi-instrumentalist Lamine Sonko and Ngiyampaa singer-songwriter Pirritu join forces for an intimate double-bill performance.
Friday, 16 August 2024
7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
Altona Theatre
Lamine Sonko (The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra, The African Intelligence) creates multi-artform experiences inspired by his background as a guewel (cultural role) of the Sing Sing clan and Korings of Kaabu, and a member of Senegal’s Serer, Wolof and Mandinko communities.
Pirritu (meaning ‘Brett’ in Ngiyampaa language) was adopted by a non-Aboriginal couple as a newborn baby and raised to be proud of his Aboriginality, to follow his cultural journey and to connect back to family, culture and language – a journey he began when he was 14 years old. Two things drive his continual thirst to connect to his people, country, language and culture – his daughter and his passion for music.
