Coco's Lunch and Drummergirl

Coco’s Lunch are pioneers in the composition and performance of contemporary world/jazz vocal repertoire that is now performed by vocal ensembles and choirs globally: South Indian vocal percussion, high vibration poetry and skin-tight harmonies are the hallmarks of this extraordinary music. The new Misra Chappu show by Coco's Lunch showcases all new pieces of exceptional beauty and unparalleled originality and forges an adventurous new direction in contemporary vocal music. This is heart music, set to the pulse of trademark Coco’s 4-part groove, and featuring the spectacular artform known as konnakol (South Indian vocal percussion). Composers Lisa Young and Jacqueline Gawler draw deeply from the rich sonic palettes of Australia, India and Africa, and between the singers an impressive alchemy brings these stories to life.

Joining Coco's Lunch for the first time onstage is the brilliant Simone Lang, a specialist in traditional and contemporary West African drumming. She has traveled to many countries in the world including Guinea, Senegal and The Gambia to study whilst being immersed in the community and culture. Based on the Coffs Coast, Simone's mission is to inspire others - especially women - to discover the joy of group drumming.
