The Rhythm Hunters
Contemporary Drumming Ensemble

CD Launch: 'Soundscapes of a Multicultural Asian Australia'

Featuring Rendra Freestone & The Sumatralia Project

The Rhythm Hunters are an Australian world music ensemble based on the
Central Coast of NSW. Utilising the thunder of taiko (Japanese
festival drums) and traditional music from West Sumatra, Indonesia,
The Rhythm Hunters bring to the stage an inspired brand of physical
drumming. Dramatic beats are pounded out with striking visual
intensity on large Australian made wine barrel Taiko. Pacific island
wood blocks and bronze kettle gongs add a lively and colourful
dimension to the zen of taiko.

Rendra Freestone weaves Asian flute music delicately into the
thundering sound fabric to create a music of heaven and earth.

Special Guests
Acehnese Body Percussion with The Suara Indonesia Dancers led by
Alfira O=B9Sullivan and songs Canadian born folk singer Geoff
Belanger.

Proudly supported by: Asialink, Australia Council for the Arts,
Australia Indonesian Institute, Central Coast Brackets and Jam, Earth
Central Productions, Worldwide Printing Gosford, Indonesian Cultural
Communications and Rode Microphones.
