On Monday, 25 March, at 10:50 a.m., the event “Songlines: The Ancient Secret to Our Planet’s Oldest Surviving Culture” will take place in Room SMT.09 (Santa Marta University Campus, Via Cantarane 24), featuring Joaquin Rudd and Fred Leone.
Joaquin Rudd, son of the Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd, shares his father’s passion for primitive music and atmospheres. Fred Leone belongs to the Garrwa and Butchulla tribes of Queensland, where he has been appointed as a Songman, the custodian of the linguistic and cultural traditions of Aboriginal peoples, which he conveys through musical practice. To ensure that the identity of the Garrwa and Butchulla tribes continues to be part of an international collective memory, Leone has transcribed and set to music the oral stories and songs of Aboriginal tribal ceremonies, incorporating their sounds and instrumentation.
The event, organized by Professors Chiara Battisti and Giovanni Tallarico, in collaboration with Professors Annalisa Pes and Susanna Zinato, will take the form of a dialogue with the artists and a live performance.
Participation will also be possible via Zoom at this link.
