We’re so grateful to have been part of Harmony Week with Channel Nine – sharing rhythm, movement and stories that bring people closer and spark meaningful conversations around inclusion and diversity.

For us, rhythm is a universal language. It connects, uplifts and reminds us of the richness within our communities. 🇬🇭🪘🇦🇺

Thank you to Channel Nine for welcoming us into your beautiful space and for the opportunity to contribute to such an important week of reflection, connection and celebration.

Big thanks to Kofi Kunkpe, Aboubacar Djéliké Kouyate and Aboubacar Merveille Camara for bringing incredible energy and artistry to the performance.
