Join us for an unforgettable musical experience as Patrick Bebey, son of the renowned Cameroonian guitarist and composer, collaborates with French guitarist based in Esperance, Ingrid Riollot, to present ‘African Sunrise’.

Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of traditional West African music, these internationally acclaimed musicians will transport you on a journey through the heart and soul of Cameroon, Mali, and Nigeria. Feel the rhythm of the African continent pulsating through vibrant melodies and soulful vocals, as African instruments harmonize with the delicate intricacies of the guitar.

Accompanied by a stunning display of photography by Len Metcalf, an esteemed Australian photographer, "African Sunrise" promises to be an immersive experience for the senses.

Featuring music from Francis Bebey, Patrick Bebey, Toumani Diabate (arr. Derek Gripper), Taiwo Adegoke, Ingrid Riollot, and John Williams, this concert is a celebration of cultural heritage and musical diversity.
