Sachém: Strangers Again
About the event
Commissioned and presented by the Melbourne International Jazz Festival, the Australian Art Orchestra and Songlines Aboriginal Music Corporation as part of the First Nations Artist Residency Program, Strangers Again is an evocative new work in which Sachém blends lyricism, spoken word and hip-hop to craft narratives that honour his heritage.
Raised between Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) and Adelaide, Sachém's connected to his Noonuccal roots while also drawing from his lineage in the Black American diaspora to create music that is both grounded and global.
Reflecting his dual heritage, Strangers Again explores themes of identity, legacy and resilience in a compelling and deeply human new work.
Part of the Melbourne International Jazz Festival.
